For £15m..... he's still only 22....could be a good deal
My son seems to think his wages are £120k per week.
Which is his position?

Personally think Marco could be just the man to unlock huge potential in him.
He has gone backwards but that's been quite common with a lot of Chelsea's youngsters where big money signings have stalled the development of many. He was one who they had big hopes for and I think there is a very good footballer just needing a good opportunity and a manager who can tap into him. Very pacey technically good and at £15m if correct well worth a gamble. Would add an excellent dimension to our attack. Would not have to up sticks either. Don't see any negative if we were to sign him though I would say if we could afford him Pulisic would be my choice of Chelsea players leaving.
Can he play right wing?

If that's true then I can't see him leaving permanently this summer. Loan with an obligation to buy so Chelsea pay part of his 120k wages till his contract expires. TK deadline day special written all over it
He's played on the left and the right for Chelsea.
I rate him and think he would be a good signing for £15m
I'm on the fence with this one. He's not the player he was when he emerged on the scene. Injuries have stripped him of some of his explosive pace and ability to break lines. He was also in-and-out all of last season with, what I assume, are fitness/injury issues.
On the other hand, he's a great passer and dribbler, and is a very progressive player.
I think he's exactly the sort of player to use a domestic loan on, with an option to buy set at absolutely no more than £15m. I'd be very worried about a straight purchase, given his form/fitness issues.

Are you his physio Alfie ?

Lol, just looked it up nothing more.
Technically a good player but if you remember Kevin achingpong who came through our academy years ago great skill but couldn't handle the day to day challenge of being a footballer dribble around ten players then gets lost a very expensive gamble especially on Chelsea's wages.
22years, homegrown, know the country and league...ticks enough boxes to get a yes for me, especially if there are doubt about either Willian or Solomon signing.

Good to know, I don't see him starting on the left assuming we get Willian, but I think we can improve on Wilson. No disrespect to Wilson, who had a good run in the second half of the season.
Florian Wirtz and Moussa Diaby (valued at around 150m together) generally play behind the striker in Leverkusen so I wouldn't hold it against him that he failed no nail down a spot in the starting 11 their this season.
Surely this highly thought of young player would welcome a year at the Cottage to rehabilitate from his various injuries in order to ultimately achieve his true destiny in returning to the kennels.

If that's the reason he would come to FFC he can get stuffed.
