According to Australian press he is currently on the equivalent of just over £8000 per week. Hence my question, is he prepared to take a pay cut?

Wow, didn't realise it was that much. Makes things look difficult.

If he's wanting to move, he'll have to take a pay cut as no one will pay him that.

Hibs are a bigger shop window than the German side. Joining Hibs would be better for his career in the long run i'd have thought despite the drop in wages.

We should just splash the cash and spend a half million each on Allan and McLaren. It's a gamble, but very shrewd gamble. European league stages will cover that, as will the transfer fee of McGinn if we sell. Not to mention these players will likely increase in value and become assets to the club like Flo.

These are not signings that will guarantee the group stages though, so we need to be a bit careful when entering "speculate to accumulate" territory.

I'm not saying we shouldn't do it, just that we should be careful.

Looking like we won't have to pay for Allan. As it finally looks like a John mcginn to celtic plus allan plus a loan player.
So we will have a bit of spare cash to use as lennon sees fit

Efe has taken a paycut to be at Hibs, as has Whittaker, if players want to get regular football and get their careers back on track, they'll take a paycut to do this, pretty sure Stokes was on a lot less than he was at Celtic or Blackburn.

Looks like Jamie is back in Darmstadt - the location on his recent Twitter post. Hopefully that means he's having talks with his manager about his future.

Hopefully, only there long enough to pack his stuff!

Latest intel from Agent Downunder.

Nobody sure where he’ll end up but Hibs definitely a big shout.

As stated previously Jamie’s first preference is an English Championship club but interest so far...negligible.

Second choice would be a cashed up Middle East club if he can land one

Hibs remain option.

However, just because he WANTS to come to Hibs, doesn’t mean Darmstadt are (a) going to let him. Leave or (b) put a transfer fee on him we can afford.

Think this one will run for a while.....

Interesting, cheers.

IMO there has to come a time we look at other options, we can't let this drag on too long if he has other preferred choices.

[Zazu62]

Can’t see this happening tbh.

Ambrose and Whittaker are a bit different though. One had visa issues, so needed a move to a Scottish club and Whittaker was at the end of his career and probably wanted a move back home. I’d be amazed if Efe wasn’t sold either this window or in January.

Maclaren is in his prime.

He might be in his prime but he hasn't achieved anything that would earn him a move to the English championship that he craves.

He's already been at Blackburn Rovers as a youngster and didn't make the grade. Had a good scoring record over 4 years in Australia which isn't a particularly good league. Last season made 7 appearances and no goals in the German second division before his successful loan spell with us. Went to the world cup but only after being called up at the last minute for injury cover to one of the weaker squads in the tournament and didn't play.

If he wants a lucrative contract he can sit on the bench at Darmstadt until his contract is up and then hope for the best or he can accept that he is going to earn less money for the next two years but in a happier environment, playing regularly in a higher profile league with much more of an opportunity to get himself a better move to the English leagues.

you're right - easiest way for him to get to the championship would be to notch 20 goals for us this season......

Equally, are is current side , happy to pay him over 8,000 a week if he wants to be somewhere else?

[Carheenlea]

Hope their training is up to scratch - don`t want an out of shape player coming back when he returns to Easter Road.

[Famous Fiver]

Did he have the McGinn limp?

Ambrose and Whittaker were both free agents when we signed them so it wasn't possible for them to take cuts on £0 per week.

Eve needed his visa and Whittaker could have got a league 1 side who'd give him more, Efe could've gone abroad for a lot more money instead of signing for us. Point being it's sometimes not all about money

It was miles different. They were skint, couldn’t afford his value, our direct rivals for the title and he conspired with them to try and bully us into a move for a small % of his value.

McGinn hasn’t gone whining to the press or got pals to do it for him, hasn’t deliberately posed for a photo in a restaurant on on a night out with the team he wants to join nor has he handed in a transfer request.

That’s why I said “in the context that we’re talking”. All the things you mentioned are so far out of context that they are talking about something else completely.

[KWJ]

If his contract was structured in a way that he had high targets with high reward then he could possibly earn close to that dosh.

Something like a £100,000 bonus for banging in 25 league goals. Or that he receives 10% of any transfer fee, something like that if you believe in yourself.

While I agree that we will probably make up for his wage via other means (like a signing on fee), he'd be mad to take the offer there. No player outwith Celtic has scored 25 league goals since Higdon in 12/13.

There’s no way in a million years, if he’s on £8k per week, Hibs will be able to make this up
If Jamie wants to join Hibs, he’s going to have to agree something with his current club, and then after that, something that’s fits within our wage structure.
He’s got 2 season left on his contract at Darmstadt, so almost £2m in wages. If he’s not playing for them, they’ll be keen to get him off the wage bill, and save some of this

Think Hibs will be waiting on this been agreed at Darmstadt end, before we can agree something with him, although I’m sure there will have been talks

I think the fact he's contracted for another 2 years, we'll most likely get him on a loan deal. Cover a percentage of his wage, and then revisit the situation next season. Darmstadt won't let him leave on a free, and we won't shell out for him on a permanent.

Hopefully get some sort of option for a permanent move like Flo, as well.

Exactly, If he's on 8k as presumed then we can't get near that. He'll be looking at some kind of pay of from Darmstadt and a signing on fee, if we give him around 3k basic and add ons may take him to around 4k, that'll be about as best as we can do. With a pay off and signing fee that should make up some of what he's going to miss from his Darmstadt wage.
