  1. Worried by competition from a new signing Santiago Martínez

    Moderate
    Cause
    The new arrival has visibly higher ability. The newcomer is on a much larger wage deal.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.

  2. Struggled with training intensity

    Minor
    Cause
    His condition and recent minutes made the session harder than usual, so staff treated it as fatigue rather than attitude.

  3. Worried by competition from a new signing Chinanu Victor

    Moderate
    Cause
    The signing was bought with a similar squad-status tier in mind.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.

    Major
    Cause
    The discussion covered general matters.

  5. Asked the manager for a private conversation

    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  6. Clashed with Cameron Fenton over training standards

    Minor

    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.
