Therefore my point that he is performing adequately elsewhere is sound and valid.
While I agree with your assessment that RVP's importance last season shouldn't be downplayed I don't think that this is a fact - I don't believe Adebayor is good enough for Man City at the level they want to be at and that is the main reason for him not being retained. If he had Aguero or Tevez's ability they'd accommodate his attitude and ego problems. The fact is he can only score goals when they're laid on a plate for him - 100% of his goals came from clear cut chances and even his conversion rate of those isn't great. See link:
