Or since it's been known for a while that Hibs are prepared to consider letting him go because he doesn't want to be here maybe he already has permission to speak to other clubs?

They are looking to offload him, they agreed an option to buy with Valencia last season which Valencia didn't take up. They're probably hoping to get a similar deal with Rangers. They'll also be trying to get as much of his wages off the books as they can. We could never afford his wages or transfer fee.
You are pretty much saying they can't loan to anyone else in the Scottish Prem but us. A loan player to Livingston could cost us a win. Where do you draw the line? Then Bournemouth have the same problem in France. Portugal. Australia.
And what if we want to take a player on loan from one of Bournemouth's rivals? Should hibs be progressing the career's of their direct rivals players?
It gets silly and the group becomes a hindrance rather than a help. Bournemouth look after Bournemouth. Hibs look after hibs. If we can share information to benefit all that is one thing. If we're tying each other's hands I'm not so keen.
Andy Robertson rumoured to be leaving Liverpool for Atletico Madrid… didn’t realise he was 31 now .
The idea that Bournemouth shouldn't send a player to Rangers is just mad imo. He's a player that's miles above our standard of signing so as others have said he was never going to end up here.
Player needs to want the move as well though. I hate them, but Huns probably look an attractive move right now, new manager who he's worked with before, new owners, European football every season.
Or it could all just be paper talk and Aarons ends up somewhere else.
I absolutely get all the chat about players being loaned to us by the BKG, but still find it a bit disappointing we aren’t seeing players coming to us we’d never have got if it wasn’t for the tie up. After all it was one of the things we were told to expect when the deal was done.
I do think we might see some good quality players come in from Lorient this year. They walked the league this year and will be looking to improve their squad now they are back in top flight. I imagine we might get one or two who would be in and around the squad but not starting or a talented youngster who's just off starting for them. That's my hope anyway. I don't think there is anyone at Bournemouth either good enough or who would want to come here.
It is a bit mad in fairness that because of our partnership with Bournemouth that folk would think they wouldn’t do deals with other clubs in our league . It’s like the chat about Paulsen in it really didn’t suit either party for him to come on loan to us but maybe a team like Dundee Utd or St Mirren would have .
The reality is that BKFC/Bournemouth have their own club to worry about and Aarons will be sooking up a wage that they'll not want to pay out anymore, and if Rangers are willing to offer them the most amount of money for him then they'll take it.
They're not going to do us a favour and hold onto him and pay about £2m in wages in the off chance we can catch Rangers. It's a total dream world scenario if anyone thinks that's how they should operate.
The Paulsen one makes a bit more sense as he's at our level and those teams are our direct competitors. But if Hibs don't want him then that's on us if he ends up elsewhere in the league.
Bournemouth paid the money for him and they'll want him to develop accordingly to either play for them or sell him for a decent profit, he's not going to sit on the bench or in the stands at Bournemouth because no one in the set up wanted him this year. Being in this multiclub set up doesn't just exclude you from doing business with other teams outside of it.
