Right now, I don't care if loan or permanent, lets just get him back for the season.

Hopefully one or two others will join before Sunday and the next European game.

And that doesn’t include the money we make from home gates. Could be a sell out on Thursday. Deduct the costs for travel etc and we must be over £1m profit for three rounds of Europa cup and maybe even more to come.

God knows, now that you’ve said it I suppose it could be interpreted either way. I took the last bit to be a “all the best for the season” rather than the future because as it stands he’ll be back next year. The wait for concrete info goes on :greengrin

If you read what is there then it's a loan. If you read things that aren't there then it is permanent, and he has been given the key to the city, and he is living ren't free in Rod' s servants quarters.

This is how i ready it initially, referring to getting games and goals to make the world cup.

on further reading it could also be a loan move to us.

Either way it looks like he has/will shortly sign.

Calm yourself. He's not the only one who interpreted it that way, I did too. Sounded like he was thanking them for letting him come to us previously. Seems odd to write a letter like that when just going out on loan. I could be wrong though...

Going by what others have said looks like a loan, maybe with us having first option to buy next summer, so guess Maclaren doesn't expect or want to return and so this is goodbye even if it isn't officially the end

Col2
03-08-2018, 02:47 PM
A loan with option is fine with me given some of the figures bouncing around.

He won’t be restricted playing against anyone or any competitions e.g like a Celtic loanee.

Maybe we have offered a certain amount we can afford now to sign him permanently or offered a higher amount next summer assuming we will have more money available after our European run, another successful season in the premiership and potentially money in the bank from selling McGinn.

Darmstadt get an unsettled player out of their squad and either we cough up next summer or they field offers for MacLaren after he has spent a year playing regularly and gaining exposure in a high profile league

If this story is true then hats off to ever negotiated the deal. Hibs can't lose, if an English club wants to pay top dollar for him we get him for the agreed price and pocket the profit. If it doesn't work out we walk away just like we could have done with Flo.......

Absolutely delighted to have him back with us, even more so knowing we have this option to purchase. Maclaren and Kamberi are a fantastic partnership and guaranteed goals.

Well done Jamie Mac, we are all very glad you are one of us!
