There has been a lot of talk regarding Stoke City’s interest in Che Adams on social media.
Although there haven’t been any concrete reports about whether the Potters would be looking to sign the forward, that hasn’t stopped people discussing it.
Fans on Twitter have been debating whether letting the 21-year-old leave would be a good idea:
£10m – £15m and he can have him, signed a new deal this season so definitely shouldn't go on the cheap!

Don’t need to sell him if GR let’s butland go ????

Cash in for in excess of £10m, and let them take Stockdale so Butland can move on to give another £6M+ sell on clause. Then there's Dutch Mike and Davis…..Rowett doing his bit to help Blues meet FFP.

What’s the point in selling Adams? Who would we realistically get better for £10m? The bloke is still young and improving and he’s been part of some awful blues teams. With the right service under monk he could easily be a 20 goal striker. #BCFC

I like him but he doesn’t seem happy at blues … 10 mil would be great to strengthen the team

Let him go

No chance. If assombalonga was worth 18 million then ches worth atleast the same.

If we had enough attacking options id let him go, at the moment we dont have enough with him. However i dont think hes been stand out this seaso

Verdict:
Che has a lot of potential but after not making the sort of impact that many expected last season, some supporters would definitely take the £10m that was offered for the player last summer.
Especially with Financial Fair Play restrictions to consider, the forward’s sale could provide Garry Monk with some much-needed funds to reshape the squad.
Saying that though, this all just pure speculation at the moment. There is nothing to suggest currently our no.14 is on the way out of the club. We’ll just have to wait and see how the transfer window unfolds.
