Severity
Mood

  1. Asked the manager for a private conversation

    Moderate
    Cause
    He is unhappy about his playing time. His relationship with the manager is steady but tense. He has already raised this with the manager recently.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.

  2. Left out as Konstantinos Ioannou was preferred

    Moderate
    Chosen instead
    Konstantinos Ioannou was preferred — a chance to give him cup minutes.
    Cause
    Cup rotation: the manager rested regulars for this round.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  3. Led the defence in a tight match

    Minor
    Cause
    He held the back line together when the game was hanging in the balance.

  4. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
    The team had won, and the manager wanted to reinforce the standards. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.

  5. He has started to want: To be paid what he is worth

    Mind

  6. Clashed with João Gadu 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.

  7. Clashed with Fabio Rodrigues Nallet 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.

  8. Santiago Ferez, a compatriot, joined the squad

    Moderate
    Cause
    Shared nationality and language helped this take root. The language gap is making integration harder.
    Outlook
    Settling-in period is still under way.

  9. Led the defence in a tight match

    Minor
    Cause
    He held the back line together when the game was hanging in the balance.

  10. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
    The moment called for a quiet show of support. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.

    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.

  11. He has started to want: A bigger club

    Mind

  12. Manager trust is eroding

    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  13. Wants to head back home

    Serious
    Cause
    After a long, difficult settling period he is openly hoping for a move home or to a familiar club. (The move took him to a different continent.; He still does not speak the local language.)

    Contract request risk increased.

  14. Still struggling to settle into the squad

    Moderate
    Cause
    He has not yet made the connections that come naturally to most signings.

  15. Contract talks stalled over squad status

    Moderate
    Cause
    The wage was acceptable, but he wanted clearer first-team guarantees.

    The terms are still being weighed against his expectations.

  20. Criticised in a full-time post-mortem

  23. Warned about his body language

    Moderate

    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  24. Reassured by the manager's half-time message

    Minor
    Cause
