Christian Eriksen says he wishes his future could be decided "just like in FootballManager" after failing to secure a move away from Tottenham this summer, even though he asked for a new challenge.
Spurs had some tricky fixtures in their opening few games, but they showed grit and determination against Man City in their second match and also against Arsenal last week to gain a point. UK bookies consider them favourites against most premier league teams every week, so bettors can use bonus codes for placing bets as a good way of getting better returns.
Eriksen, 27, has no regrets over publicly admitting he wanted a new challenge and has conceded his disappointment that a move failed to materialise.
Asked if it was wrong to publicly reveal his desire to leave, he responded: “No it wasn’t (wrong) but it is football and you never know what happens in football and many things always come into play.
“I wish I could decide just as in the Football Manager but unfortunately I can’t. I know a lot of people are interested in where to play. I understand that well.
‘That’s the way it is. For me, it’s not been hard to clear my head. I don’t read much of what is written. And now I have been involved for many years, where there have been many rumours every year.
‘But it’s clear that it’s been a little more violent this year because my contract is about to expire.’ Eriksen told Danish publication Ekstra Bladet.
Eriksen, who was linked with a move to Real Madrid, is in the final year of his contract and will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with European clubs from January 1.
This bit of information is something future Football Manager 2020 players should take a special note. You'll be able to sign this world-class midfielder in FM2020 for free, and will only have to pay his loyalty bonus and of course his agent.
The Danish playmaker has made 277 appearances for the Premier League club, scoring 66 goals, since his arrival from Ajax in 2013.
Consequently, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy was open to moving the Danish playmaker on in order to get a transfer fee for him rather than losing him for nothing next summer.
End of Contract Agreements in Football Manager
Generally, if a player is on a professional contract that is due to expire within the next six months then you can start contract negotiations with him without having a transfer offer accepted by his club first, as long as he has not already agreed terms with another club.
If a contract is agreed in this way then he will join your club when his current contract expires (or at the start of the next available transfer window after this).
However, if you are managing a club in England then this only applies to players at non-English clubs. For a player at another English club you will not be able to negotiate an end of contract agreement until his contract has one month or less remaining.
Therefore, on the 31st December each year it is highly beneficial to look for players set to be available for free in six months time (due to most player contracts in the major European nations expiring on 30th June).
This will allow you to potentially add quality players to your squad without paying transfer fees for them.
Furthermore, you may want to try to bring in young, inexperienced players at the end of their contracts, even if they are not likely to be good enough to play for your first team, with the intention of developing them and selling them for a profit in the future in order to significantly improve your finances.
