No matter what you decide, DR forwards is always a good start. You can make up your mind what to do with him after a season of that. Definitely try to get at least a Superior Trainer (exceptional or beter prefered), exceptional or better youth trainer, and at least one level of gym.
I know you may not want to but if you can't get all of the above then selling might be the best option. He will net at least $1 million on the market.
