Severity
Mood

  1. His agent appears to be testing the market

    Minor
    Cause
    Stage: agent sounding out the market. The link came via his representatives. It would be a lateral move. His agent is pushing the move along. The talk has begun to distract him.
    Outlook
    Expectations may build after a stand-out moment.

  2. Interest from Rotherham United has turned his head

    Minor
    Cause
    Stage: concrete interest. The interested club has formally approached. It would be a lateral move. He is a loyal type and unlikely to push for a move. The talk has begun to distract him.
    Outlook
    Expectations may build after a stand-out moment.

  3. He has said it out loud: Permission to leave if the offer is right

    Mind

  4. Clashed with Zépiqueno Redmond over training standards

    Minor
    Cause
    The disagreement started because they judged training effort very differently. It played out on the training ground in front of the rest of the squad.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  5. Daryl Dike, a close friend, was sold by the club

    Moderate
    Cause
    Losing a close friend at the club is still felt. The bond between them was already strong, so the morale hit should be limited.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  6. Settling well into the dressing room

    Moderate
    Cause
    A strong training-ground partnership is behind this. The bond between them was already strong, so the morale hit should be limited.
    Outlook

  7. Unsettled by the squad wage hierarchy
