Our Chelsea fans here in the Transfer Tavern are expecting a huge turn around in personnel over the course of the summer, with many of the big names fighting for their careers.

Antonio Conte, it seems is on borrowed time at Stamford Bridge, with results and performances not exactly going his way, despite leading the club to a Premier League title win last season. Alongside the manager, many of the players need to up their game also, having only won three Premier League games so far this calendar year. All around Stamford Bridge, there is a sense that the whole club needs a revamp.

Our Blues in the bar are looking at the remaining couple of months of the season as a chance for some players to really stake their claim, as to why they should be at the club next season. Indeed their first priority should be gaining qualification for the Champions League, and with their recent form since the turn of the year, this is going to be an uphill task.

Our landlord takes a look at TWO players that Conte should be looking to move on in the summer…

Gary Cahill

The club captain hasn’t had the best of seasons so far at Stamford Bridge and it looks like the centre-defender is slowly being replaced by younger models in the team. The statistic that has been going around the pub for most of the season is that Chelsea are a better team without Cahill in it, an unthinkable idea in recent seasons, a previously unthinkable notion.

The England man has needed to up his game in the past few months of the season, though now it may seem a little too late.

Tiemoue Bakayoko

The summer signing hasn’t impressed the majority of the locals in the bar this season and many believe there are much better options out there within the Chelsea squad. Some would argue that it takes some players a good year to adjust to the rigours of Premier League life, and maybe next season he could come good.

However, Conte cannot afford to gamble on another season and may need to move the midfielder on in order to release funds for further signings.
