Chelsea must let go of these two players in January

Branislav Ivanovic

Ivanovic has been cut out of this Chelsea side in brutal fashion, going from mainstay to benchwarmer, despite Chelsea’s change of formation to three centre backs, a position in which he is equally as comfortable as on the right.

It seems the right time to move the 32-year-old on, who you could still imagine performing effectively in a slower paced league such as Serie A.

The pace and directness of the Premier League seems to be too much for the Serbian’s ageing legs, wingers regularly ran rings round him last season and the start of this. Branislav it’s been fun, but it’s time to for you to go.
