Finnigan puts his spot at risk

For the second time this season Braiden Finnigan has caught a serious injury. Despite his 11 appearances his DV is awful. Talented up to his ears, no doubt about it. Once seen as the natural future captain and superstar but, well, manager BV is getting sick of his whining. Will we see a shock transfer this summer?

As for now, we have three promising striker prospects. However, it seems way too difficult to breed three super-attackers at the same time. One of them will have to go. The question is whether we should choose pure skill or special skills, and how much will one lousy season affect Finnigan's future?

Status quo:

Braiden Finnigan, 21y 10 skilled - works hard in training, leader
Sebastian Ribas, 20y 7skilled - speedy, hard shooter, goal instinct
Gary Hooper, 19y 8 skilled - works hard in training

Ribas possesses special skills some Xpert managers would kill to see in their strikers. On the other hand, he has no chance in hell of reaching the same skill levels as the two others.

Luxury problem one might say, but it still keeps me up at night.
