Baggzio
Player Valuation: £15m
I genuinely think there's mad strawman arguments going on here on both sides regarding the lad. I was a huge fan of him, especially under Carlo, he's still our best forward but it must be said he's absolutely a fraction of what he was before and has now become injury prone. I couldn't care less what he does outside of football but when your main career is a footballer and you spend most of your time on the physio's table and promoting yourself as well as your fashion then of course people are gonna come after him. It works both ways for him, because he's more open to advertising himself you can hear him maybe being talked about for a place in the England squad (until he got injured) despite the fact he's only played about 20 times in the last year and a half scoring like 6 goals and others like Ings, Wilson, Abraham, Watkins and obviously Toney doing far better than him in that same period.
No one genuinely cares about his fashion or whatever, the issue comes with his job being a footballer which he's paid well that then enables him to do these things. If someone like Ronaldo wants to go on a fashion shoot or show or whatever then no one will say a thing because he's an icon, this season already we've seen Dom, Davies and Gordon all show up here and there, even to training looking like they want to get their picture out there for some attention, that's what winds people up.
They come off as some no mark footballers playing for an awful team trying to gain notoriety for being "different" instead of showcasing themselves on the pitch and then getting people clamouring for them. It's not just our fans that do it, we only see it because it's our players. People ripped the piss out of Grealish for ages, even before he went to City. Now look at him, he plays in the best team arguably in the world, playing in the CL every year and could win it this year, worth £100m, will finish his career drowned in trophies and medals and now has big brands coming to him for massive deals and all the while he actually plays and even though he's a bit overrated at least he's actually rated.
Difference between a player who thinks he's made it, like Dom, Davies and Gordon do here, versus one that actually has made it in Grealish.
