At least one advantage of the winter break, new signings get more time to get up to pace and learn about their new teammates

Agree, in the past we've brought in loan players right at the end of the window because they were the only garbage available at that time. This deal seems thought out and a bit of planning put into it. Good luck Jamie

Welcome !

Hoping he is what we need in the final 3rd and can add that X factor to convert our domination of teams.

I like that he’s wanting to go to the World Cup and needs to be playing and playing well to be noticed so hopefully not just coming here to make up the numbers.

A derby winning goal in his debut would be nice..

Now, obviously this comes with the standard caveat that you most definitely can polish a turd on Youtube but he seems to be a striker that, how can I say this, actually get into the box on a regular basis.

Intrigued to see what he can do.

I've taken very little interest in our new signings' Youtube videos since Franck Dja Djedje. He looked unreal on youtube and turned out to be horrific. Having said that i'm still excited by this signing and hope Jamie can start his Hibs career with a goal in the derby in a couple weeks. :pray:

They were raving about him a week or so ago. We were in trouble when he pulled on the maroon jersey. Now he's crap, not match fit etc. The fact of the matter is we've strengthened what what was already a better squad than theirs and signed their number one target. Pleasing.

Of our current crop of strikers he looks most like Shaw so I can't really see them working together and I hope this doesn't stunt Shaw's growth.

The A League is pretty pish and I'm a bit concerned that a 2nd tier German team who are fighting at the bottom of the league seem happy to loan him out.

That said the boy can clearly finish and sniff out goals. His pens were sensational and that finish v Victory was pretty special.

Welcome to the Cabbage Jamie, plenty time to outscore Lafferty.

This (especially the last bit :thumbsup:)

An extra ingredient to help unlock stubborn defences is exactly what we need right now and McLaren looks like he fits the bill perfectly with the prospect of the World Cup the perfect motivation to work his socks off for Hibs.

The Yams also wanting him and the resultant rising tide of cringing-whinging-seethe emanating from the new improved pink bus shelter is an added bonus that has buoyed my mood tremendously going into 2018 - well done Lennon and the board and welcome Jamie!

That may be. Having watched a fair bit of it (not for 3-4 years to be fair) it's still got a long way to go. Very slow paced and for me it lacked competitiveness. That may have been due to the atmosphere at some games though as I was never at a Sydney Wanderers game but the crowds weren't reactionary and just created noise for the hell of it.

Anyway, 'mon MacLaren!

Think Darmstadt fans would like to see him stay with them - he's been out of favour however since they changed managers from Frings to Schuster after going down a league ... they seem to think him having game time in Scotland with HIbs will improve him and they want him back next season ...

Is that really true? It seems that so far in this thread we have gone from the A league being pish to being ok and at least one team would be top 4 in Scotland. Also Bundelsiga II being pish to having teams in it that are better than most Scottish clubs. Can't say I've seen much of either but not everyone can be right. I'm looking toward to seeing MacLaren play though

If I was one of them, but thank my dad I am not, then I would be concerned that they need to sign players but all we are seeing is players either leaving or possibly leaving. I know that they will talk about clearing out before they can bring players in, but by the time the dross leave they will have little time to replace them before the window shuts let alone for their doomsday game against us.

In contrast, Hibs have brought in the required keeper cover and now an additional striker which was needed. And with only a week of the window gone.

They have a lot of faith in their Director of Football. And don't see why.

Having watched the 40 goals, the things that were apparent were:

He can score with both feet.
For most of the goals, he hit the ball first time.
A lot of the goals were in the 6 Yard box.
He is alive to rebounds.
He can hit them from outside the box.

He seems fast and strong.
