Adebayor is better technically, a lot better in fact. He would suit our game with his pace but Mancini just doesn't like him.
You guys are bang on, this is the part of Mancini that doesnt sit well with me. He treats some players like absolute shit for no apparent reason. I couldn't get over the way he made a mockery of Bellamy no matter how much Bellamy announced his desire to play for the club, apologise and move on. Was it ever made clear what he actually did? Apart from put 100% into everything he did while here? No matter how well Bellamy played, it wasn't good enough for Mancini, which culminated in Mancini preferring to start Jo ahead of him! What a bag of shit Jo was, Bellamy was 10 times the player he was. Im convinced this cost us a fair few points that season. For all the praise Mancini gets, he definitely is not devoid from some serious man management flaws.
Remember you have no idea what goes on in the dressing room and that is HUGE in terms of team spirit.
There is a fair chance (Esp Bellamy) that they disrupted the dressing room and took focus away from Mancini's message.
Also the fact both got shipped out and we won...... THE PREMIER LEAGUE (still hasnt sunk in)
I'll side with Bobby on this if its ok......
