Dons keen on Argyle's MacLean

The 27-year-old was training with Hearts but they have not followed up their initial interest, and now the Edinburgh club's SPL rivals are keen to sign MacLean.Dons boss Mark McGhee is confident an initial loan deal is in the offing, he told the Morning Western News: "I have spoken to Paul Sturrock at Plymouth and Steven MacLean's representative, Blair Morgan, and more or less had a loan deal done with both of them."But Steven is determined that he wants to leave Plymouth permanently, so I have asked to speak to him personally. When I do that, I will explain we have honourable intentions of bringing him here for the long term."In the meantime, it would do him no harm to come here on loan. It is a waiting game for now. He may well be waiting to see what arises elsewhere, so it could be nothing happens until the end of the month."It tends to be the way in January as nobody shows their hand this early."
