Because Adebayor is (nowadays) fucking shit, which is why he got 1 in 5 last season compared to Defoe's 1 in 2.5.
I think the article is trying to make the point that even if Defoe is scoring 1 in 2.5 he gives so little else that Tottenham would pick up more points on average with a player with a lesser goal scoring record who does more.
But I think you know that and are just being obtuse.
