Severity
Mood
  1. Settling well in a culturally familiar country

    Minor
    Cause
    The country and culture suit him.; A move home or to a favoured club has been linked.
  2. Criticised in a full-time post-mortem

    Minor
    Cause
    It was a private show of faith after a tough recent run. He handles pressure well, which helped the moment land.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
  3. Contract talks stalled over squad status

    Moderate
    Cause
    The wage was acceptable, but he wanted clearer first-team guarantees.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.
  4. Clashed with Elvis Manu 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. Olufemi Kayode, a compatriot, joined the squad

    Moderate
    Cause
    Shared nationality and language helped this take root. Sharing a nationality opened the door for the bond.
    Outlook
    Settling-in period is still under way.
  6. Worried by competition from a new signing Kofi Asante

    Moderate
    Cause
    A much younger rival has arrived in his position.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.
  7. No natural role in the current formation

    Serious
    Cause
    His preferred position simply isn't in the current shape.
  8. Looks a level above his new surroundings

    Major
    Cause
    A reputation gap between senior and lesser players is the friction point. The gap in reputation between them is being felt in the dressing room.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.
  9. Turned down the offered deal
