I would call Ade a flop in City, with the money they paid for him, i doubt he was brought in to be a bench warmer. His finishing is one of the worst i've seen for a "top" striker.
How has Benzema exactly flopped when he hasn't had an extended run of games? the times i've seen him play this season he hasn't been half bad.
I would take Benzema over Adebayor anyday.
So how is ade a flop in City and Benz not when both are currently bench warmers.
When Ade played regularly he did score and assist. 14 goals and 3 assists in 26 games is not bad for a player that is the 2nd highest scorer of his team that is not to mention that he missed a lot of games (partially for being injured and partially for being banned for asshole attitude)..
He also went to play in the African cup of nations and was there during the togo shooting incident (he has not been the same since). We did see his full potential with Arsenal particularly in the 2007/2008 season. He is a trouble maker and I like how the opponents hate him.
Benzema does not enjoy Ade's determinism, he does not score as much goals nor assists and is also currently a bench warmer without being injured (like ade was). Both of his coaches are complaining about his lack of effort and his dismal form is obvious every time he is on the pitch. 8 goals in 24 appearances last year is disgraceful particularly when there is not a single match where his contribution stands out. That is not to mention that he plays for Madrid in the Spanish League, a team that is very attack minded in a league that cannot defend unlike playing for City (A struggling team) that is defensive minded in a league that can defend.
Clubs of both players over-payed to get them no doubt about that however City has multiple Strikers that compete with Ade while Madrid has only one.
Yes Adebayor has not been at his best but his performances are not bad at all.. not even close to being enough for the flop label. Benzema on the other hand is not even good at training.

Which type of player would suit Serie A more? My opinion is Adebayor.
Inter fans would hate Adebayor and I believe he would score against the people that hate him most everytime. Kinda like Balotelli used to do to us.
