tenderloin, I know we're in for trying to sign adebayor, but I wouldn't class him as a flop, Man City paid over the odds for him, as they have done with quite a few strikers, and he got the hump when more expensive/better players came down the pipe and he didn't get the first team love he wants/needs.
He scores goals when played, and works hard, City put him on £170k and if you were him you'd be loathe to relinquish the money as well.
Santa Cruz has done nothing apart from a sparkling season for Blackburn, and for his national side when called upon.
No player wants the big money transfer on their shoulders, but they'll take the wages hike on offer, press and fans label them as flops, when maybe those who bought them need to take a long hard look at themselves as well. Some players need a bit more man management, and some others need a system in place to get the best out of them.
