Isn't there room for middle ground? Grosicki gets no end of stick when he's being a dick but then when he starts scoring do we have to pretend there's never been an issue?
He's shown a lack of respect for this club by publicly begging for a transfer in the past, when in reality the reason he's not been signed by someone else is that he's not good enough for the move or wages that he wants. Make no mistake, the Allams wouldn't force him to stay if there was money to be made from his sale. Contrastingly, Maguire, Robertson and others sorted their lives out in private having played well enough for us to deserve big moves and without plastering their belief that they were too good for us all over social media or foreign news outlets as Kamil does. In that context all the badge kissing is insulting.
And it's not just off the pitch. As recently as the Preston game his bizarre mental state cost us 2 points when he opted not to finish the game off with minutes to go but instead to try a ridiculous side footed shot from 35 yards when clean through on goal. At other times in that game he made a few strange decisions and showed that "all about me" attitude where he completely stops if he doesn't get the ball passed to him when he thinks he should. Against West Brom he had those two stupid shots early on which he spooned over by attempting some kind of wonder chip. He undoubtedly has a weakness to his game in that he makes selfish decisions which negatively impact the team.
He's a good player and we're better with him than without. But he's far from perfect, nowhere near as good as he thinks he is, and at times needs to be tolerated as much as celebrated. Maybe that's not uncommon in players of his ilk. But people shouldn't be told off for not pretending he's flawless now that he's been playing well.
