Contract request risk increased.
Still struggling to settle into the squad
Moderate
Cause
He has not yet made the connections that come naturally to most signings.
Returned to full training after injury
Minor
Cause
The medical team cleared him, but the staff are protecting him from a rushed comeback.
His club is fighting to avoid relegation
Serious
Cause

Cause
His condition and recent minutes made the session harder than usual, so staff treated it as fatigue rather than attitude.
Reassured by a calm full-time message

Cause
The moment called for a quiet show of support. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
Outlook
Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
Poor attitude in training
Minor
Cause
Coaches flagged his application as the issue.
Struggling to settle into the squad
Serious
Cause
The settling-in period at a new club is the bigger picture. The language gap is making integration harder.

Contract offer arrived
Minor
Cause
The terms are still being weighed against his expectations.
Named Player of the Match
Reassured by a calm full-time message

Manager kept a promise
Moderate
