Transfer window is closing. I have a huge decision to make. I just assumed I'd sell Pennington, but I notice several things...

*McCullough is only worth $30,000 less.

*Pennington is a year younger and is signed for longer.

*McCullough has been performing better than Pennington overall, but that's mostly due to headers, which have not been working so well in the 2nd League.

*So I sell McCullough for $280,000. It's sad to see him go. He's been with us for 4.5 seasons and scored 54 goals.

*Still is 33 yrs old and has only 7 months remaining on his contract. The problem is I don't have anyone to stick in his spot. He may end up retiring with us. If so, we will have a chance to renew him for 3 years in the offseason.

*I pay $800,000 to upgrade the Youth Academy. My youth pulls will now range from lvl 20-30.
