Don't you think the difference in stats has a lot to do with the team pattern of play in which each played their games ? Soldado played in AVB's mega defensive, slow build up which meant he was snatching at half chances most of the time. Adebayor played under Sherwood's gung-ho style of almost all out attack.
He snatched at chances no matter who was manager, lets be honest.
I admire the faith people have in him but I'm not convinced I'm afraid. One of the main arguments is that we need to get in behind the defence and put in better balls for him, though I count near enough 10 occasions in the season where a ball went across goal for a golden chance and he shinned it horribly over the bar usually. Confidence may be a factor, but every part of his game looks average in my opinion.
