tbh, I don’t think Charlie has been at his best recently but even when he isn’t playing well he manages to be reasonably solid. you talk about his versatility but I really don’t like him at CB – his best position is easily at RB & we are quite vulnerable when he plays in central defence. My biggest issue with Charlie is his total lack of pace.However, it is testament to his skills as both a defender & an attacking wide player that he still manages to nulify the threat of even some of the quickest wingers in the League & manages to get forward regularly to support Lennon without leaving us open to counter-attack

That’s definitely true David, players with versatility are always extremely useful to have and explain why players like John O’Shea and Belletti have succeeded at big teams despite being limited players

What Corluka gives Spurs is his versatility. He can play all across the back four. Something that Redknapp needs when most of his centre halves are injured!
