Do excuse my ignorance, or stupidity!!

when he signed for us, did he sign a professional deal? I know he was signed for the development team but not all of them have pro deals

get my drift?

This occured to me too... we poached him as we are a higher level academy. Can he in turn be poached from us by someone else or does he have a pro contract??

I think once you turn 16 you sign a senior contract, although admittedly this is only based on me playing Football Manager

Pretty sure it's 17 on FM?

On 31 January 2017, Hinds signed forChampionship club Bristol City for an undisclosed fee, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract, with the option of a one-year extension.

We certainly didn't "poach" him, we paid Luton an agreed fee, as their manager (Nathan Jones) said at the time.

Next question: was that long range screamer a fluke or does he naturally have a great strike on him? We haven't had a player that can really shoot for ages.

Wouldn't say it was a fluke since he did the same against Plymouth. If he gets into space in that area, and there's no better option available then he will shoot.

If memory serves me correct the one he scored against Plymouth was also very nice.

Check out the highlights on the main site of the Plymouth game - 4th goal.

No hesitation at all in squeezing the trigger,which= confidence ..

Certainly showing promise & seems to be loving it being with/in the first team-keep it going,Fred!

From which club did we get him?

Luton let him go at the time because the manager said he didn't feel he could impact the first team. Several months later and some feel he should be behind famara and bobby.

Seems like he has made some improvement and even LJ has said he has developed quicker than anticipated. He could be another Marvin Brown but I understand they likened him to a Nicky Maynard type.

If he keeps going as he is I'd expect a new deal to be agreed by Christmas. Can't imagine he's on much! 

I was told he'd be offered a new deal within the next few weeks then loaned out

God i hope this isnt true. Hes scored as many in 3 games as matty taylor managed in 20 last season. Taylor is taking up a squad place that i dont think he is good enough for.

LJ said he's a year ahead in his development than what they would expect.

he needs to be loaned out next week because he can only go non-league after the window shuts, and he's better off here then going none league at the moment,

The way it was put to me is we want him locally but there are no teams good enough for him around here, presume it'll be a League One loan. Plymouth maybe an option, we have a good understanding with them too.

I'd rather keep him here, and continue learning from our players, than go L1/L2, and pick up bad habits.  Sometimes the future is now.  He can sit on our bench, get minutes here and there, play u23 games etc.  Matty Taylor can go to Charlton.

Don't think 2 in 2 games can be called a fluke. Hopefully see a few more from him!

Wonder if he can take free kicks if he's got that sort of range.
