As far as I can see, the consensus on here seems to be that he will pretty much definitely be going back to Germany. Did he say that or is that just what people think will happen? He's not had a huge amount of game time to judge him fully on but I like what I see so far and him and Kamberi are looking decent together, I'm definitely open to him staying if he's keen. Thoughts so far?
For me too early to decide. Think he’s got another year left at his clubQuote:

Apparently his German coach didn't want him to come on loan to us, or anyone, but he'd made his mind up due to lack of 1st team action and an eye on the world cup.
So not likely, but you never know. Him doing well at WC should he make it would probably rule it completely out.
Sure he's got another 2yrs left on his deal with them too..
They’ve got France, Denmark and Peru in their sectionQuote:

He’s on very good wages. If anything he will be sold on probably down South. His missus doesn’t like Germany much because of the language and they know nobody.
I think he needs to offer a bit more before I’d be happy for him to stay. Really liking the look of Kamberi. If we finish 3rd and sell a load of season tickets again then hopefully we’ll be able to bring in a real quality striker.
The socceroos will beat Peru and might well take a point from Denmark. That might just be enough to get through their group.Quote:

I am in the minority and think MacLaren is a better player than Kamberi.
Makes clever runs and is a predator. I think he is now up to full MATCH fitness after a slow start.
IF they didnt want him to go on loan they wouldn't have let him.Quote:

A lot will depend on Darmstadt, they’re toiling just now and if they get back to back relegations then they will have to release players so we may well have a chance. I like him and would be happy to keep him and Kamberi as they seem to be a decent partnership.
I think he looks very good as well. His movement is great and he looks like he will score a lot of goals for us. I like the look of Kamberri as well and we have an option to keep him.Quote:

I do hope we sign Kamberi permanently though, I’ve been very impressed with him.
The start of his Hibs career he has been a predator without teeth. He has been in the right place countless times but snatched at chances. The Hearts game he had two very tricky chances - scored one and forced a fantastic save. I get the feeling he will finish the season well and be out of our price range.Quote:

This document suggests that Darmstadt's average wage in 2016, while they were in Budesliga, was about £6k a week, they have since been relegated probably impacting on how much they pay and MacLaren was signed after relegation.
At Brisbane roar MacLaren was probably earning about £3k or £4k a week max.
His natural poaching was evident for Scott’s goal. He was the only one that really followed the shot through, in case there were any spillages.
Think he’ll score another 7 goals for us.
Darmstadt have smaller crowds than us and are about to get relegated. It’s possible they will be happy for him to move on.Quote:

He seems to be enjoying life at Hibs, he's getting into the Oz squad while with us and if his missus prefers Edinburgh to Germany that could be enough motivation for him to make the move permanent even if it isn't as financially rewarding as some other options.Quote:

Kamberi and McLaren don't need to score to make massive contributions.
Our current front 2 contribute a lot more than just goals, and as a result we're starting to see a few more goals from elsewhere.
I really like this team. It would be amazing if somehow Neil Lennon could talk them all into staying for just one more year, because I reckon they could achieve something really special together.
I wasn’t knocking him in my earlier post, just need to see more of him before I know if he can do it for a seasonQuote:

With you brother 100%Quote:

Keep that team together and add some depth and things could get very, very good.
Would take a bit of a miracle sadly but you can always dream ;)

Money in like for like, & retain 3/4 from midfield/forwards & I’m liking that.Quote:

If he stars in the World Cup, then I’m sure there will be offers for him at a higher level, if he doesn’t and the Oz campaign fizzles or he isn’t selected to go, then it really depends on his club, as to what happens.
I could be very wrong...but I don’t see him being at Hibs next season.....his club are not going to give him away, but time will tell.
I Usually try to guard against sweeping generalisations ;)Quote:

I worked with a guy from Dresden (he'd be around 40 now) he always seemed to shy away where he was from in Germany. of course the bombing of Dresden wasn't our finest hour and although we move on it's not that long ago. I think if probably wanted to spare himself the stuff he'd heard a 100 times.
