Outlook
Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
Praised by the manager
Major
Cause
The discussion covered general matters.
Frustrated after the club rejected interest from Aalesund
Moderate
Cause
Stage: the bid was rejected. It became public after the bid was rejected. It would offer an escape from his current situation. A bid has already been rejected. He wants the club to listen if a serious bid arrives. Playing time would likely improve.
Stage: concrete interest. The interested club has formally approached. It would be a lateral move. His ambition makes the link hard to ignore. The talk has begun to distract him.
Outlook
Expectations may build after a stand-out moment.
Unsettled by the squad wage hierarchy
Serious
Cause
The squad's wage hierarchy is the underlying issue. The gap to the squad's top earners has become a daily reminder.
