That and perhaps he's not as good as he used to be. While 31yo is a good age for a footballer these days, the loss of pace that takes place at around 30yo may affect players very differently; sometimes it's not as pronounced, or other times the player did not rely on it so much anyway.
Jorginho tho, he's not a particularly powerful player, esp for that position, so he does rely on pace and quickness, which may not be the same anymore. He may still be a good player, but perhaps he's just past his best? it happens to everyone.

He never had any pace though

Yeah maybe raw pace, no. I think his quickness + good technique on the ball was all he got. While he was never Kante for running and covering, he's always been pretty mobile for that role and could find a pass under pressure, which demands quickness.

Bigger mistake selling than sacking Tuchel imo. 29 points we had this season came from the 15th starts he had. Would have liked to see Enzo playing alongside him. 

Very good performance against Newcastle today, MOTM.

You don't know what you have until you lose it. Alonso also.

Jorginho leaving was a disaster class from both Potter and the board.

You can blame the board, but if the manager doesn't want to keep him, then the player will go. Any manager would know who the integral components are in a dressing room.

Lost Jorginho, and kept Ziyech by preventing his move. 

Just glad that we have Enzo. Easily a step up.

Jorginho  was becoming bit of a busted flush - won everything with us, and not giving 100% imo. Still a Chels legend though, and as you say we have the Enzo upgrade. What we do miss is his ability to command and those tactical yellow cards

Only saw it now but  Kais debut to forget was not the only reason to smile at arses parlous 1-1 to nürnberg. 
 

joeginho scored a beauty of an own goal from 30 yards
