Nobody is safe at Chelsea heading into the summer. The club is approaching a period of mass clearout that will only continue and perhaps out-do the extreme levels of change in the corridors of Cobham and Stamford Bridge.
Influential defenders, gone. Physios, gone. Key, experienced directors, gone. Managers, gone, all of them. Players? They've been protected. Piling up in the corner like nobody is watching. Except now they are. Everyone knows just how overflowing Chelsea are with players.
This isn't like the prime Roman Abramovich loan army era either. No longer are we counting 30 or more players being shipped out every year, this is the main squad. There are 32 active players with minutes this season, it would be more but Jorginho was sold in January.
