While there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, it does allow for comparison with a vast majority of our other first team players and how often they are seen like this.....maybe they are just better at hiding it however?

Grealish = clicks = ad revenue
He sells, therefore they’re looking for stories to run. It seems Haaland likes to enjoy his down time too, in fact there’s a video of him in the club after his last Dortmund match, but I didn’t see a red top story on that.

Like I said, he’s on holiday. He isn’t breaking the law or infringing upon contractual obligations, he’s simply enjoying a drink with mates after winning a league title.

Couldn't give a damn what he does in the off season, just needs to come back fully refreshed and ready for an important season ahead of him personally.

Yet lots of our other players are not pictured in this way....sure they are all on holiday celebrating winning the league title.
We all know how the media works. Pictures like this will be used against him in the future.
And that's before the suggestion that he is cheating on his partner again
Compare and contrast.
Two players for the same club and country, of a similar age, on off-season holidays with their mates (and without their girlfriends - when both players have a history of alleged infidelity) featured in the same newspaper within a couple of days of each other.

The Grealish story is all about the details of what he's getting up to, highlighting the drinking and the spending and the hi-jinks, using pictures from his friends' social media accounts and comments from an unnamed source.
The Stones story is a vessel for a few paparazzi pictures, a summary of recent footballing events and a round-up of other footballers' holidays.
No doubt they're digging for dirt on Jack because he has a celebrity status that sells papers.
"Grealish" and "holiday" generates clicks from people looking to be amused or outraged by the antics of an extravagant party animal.
"Stones" and "holiday" generates clicks from people browsing for football news and/or fans of bare abs.
Doesn't matter if they're doing the same things, the narrative is different because the paper is casting a wide net for customers.
As long as he's not doing anything that'll get him into trouble and he sobers up in time for pre-season then I think we're all good.

Jack Grealish & pals go on boozy Vegas trip… what could possibly go wrong?
ENGLAND star Jack Grealish has taken eight pals to Las Vegas for an epic boozy holiday. But guest of honour is a bizarre turkey hat — worn as a forfeit when one of the lads loses a bet. Grealish, 2…
