John Obi Mikel
Experienced Nigerian international midfielder John Obi Mikel has been a fine servant to Chelsea – but it would be a shame for his career to end as little more than a player to sit on the bench and occasionally be given an outing in the League Cup. Allowing Mikel and his considerable wages to move on would mean that Mourinho can replace him with a young, more dynamic replacement and continue the overhaul of his squad.
