Villa has never even played in England so you can't say he has a better scoring acumen since at this point it would be speculation. You will have to explain how Villa's 12 goals versus Adebayor's 21 goals means he is a better finisher than any ST at Arsenal. Had Adebayor not fluffed a handful of chances he would have around 30-32 league goals.

Adebayor is an improving striker, and he can brag about his stats this season. But im sure if we had Villa instead of Adebayor infront of goal, he would have slotted in more goals than Adebayor because some of the chances Adebayor had, cost us games, and vital games. I do admit he has scored some great goals, but the majority of his goals are in his level of expectation, and i believe villa has a much higher level of expectation since hes a better striker. Btw i dont think you should compare Villa's season to Adebayor. They play in different leagues ( It is harder to score in La Liga ) and Villa isint having his best seasons. Im not trying to make excuses or whatever, im just trying to state that I would rather have Villa infront instead of Adebayor any day.
