I'd sell Che and/or DCL purely on the basis of the stupid money being banded around, of which neither are worth at this very moment IMO. That extra money can be used to make three or four top signings in the key positions still left to fill. However, there's no reason why both can't be kept, and I'd be more than open to that possibility for the following reasons:
I've always been fond of Adams - he's always a direct and very exciting player. Every time he gets on the ball, there's a reasonable chance something's going to happen. He's confident, strong, has pace, and also has an eye for goal. Considering he was played as both striker and a winger last season, a goal tally of 12 was very good. That also, whilst surrounded by the utter dross that was last seasons squad.
He's said LM is his favoured position. With a much better set of players around him this season, there's no reason why he can't match or better that playing LM only. And 12 goals from that position would be an excellent return.
DCL I have always been critical of, as he's never really seemed up to speed with what's required as a league one striker. Very little evidence to go on I know, however having seen his goal yesterday, it opened my eyes slightly.
As I said on another thread, the technique to control the cross as he did, on the chest, and head home without it even touching the deck was outstanding. He also looks incredibly fast and athletic. Wilder will obviously know all about him from his time at Northampton. He could push on and become a regular, and a consistent goalscorer this season.
It's a balancing act on whether to sell at the moment, but if we keep them, I can see both players being very well sought after at the end of the season.
