Seven players that could be victims of a Chelsea clear out.

With Chelsea losing again this weekend, this time in a desperately poor showing as they went down 3-1 at Everton, here’s a look at seven Blues players who are simply no longer good enough and who need to be shown the door and replaced…

1) John Terry

Club captain and Chelsea legend, John Terry’s time as a star player for the Blues is sadly up after a poor start to the season. The writing has looked on the wall for the 34-year-old since Jose Mourinho subbed him off at half time against Manchester City and he surely needs replacing by a younger player at the back.

2) Willian

A player without the required skill and flair to truly change a game, Willian needs to be replaced by a top class attacker in the mould of Antoine Griezmann, or indeed recent signing Pedro.

3) Cesc Fabregas

Not the player he looked like at the start of last season, Cesc Fabregas needs to be offloaded and replaced by a big name like Paul Pogba, who can offer more of a goal threat.

4) Radamel Falcao

Decent as a backup striker, Radamel Falcao isn’t really good enough to be playing regularly for Chelsea, as he may have to do at the moment due to the poor form and injury proneness of Diego Costa.

5) Branislav Ivanovic

Horribly out of form at the start of this season, Branislav Ivanovic looks over the hill and in need of replacing with a younger, quicker and more skillful right-back.

6) Loic Remy

Another backup player who is barely good enough to be a backup, Loic Remy is too injury prone and drifts out of games too much to be considered a reliable option up front.

7) John Obi Mikel

Finally, John Obi Mikel got a rare chance yesterday against Everton and didn’t impress, with Chelsea surely in need of a younger and more well-rounded central midfielder to partner Nemanja Matic.
