Thinks it time to cut this one short, Davies has class but he'll be out for the seeable, best for all parties to call it quits and move on imo.

Feel sorry for him. Get well soon, but the timing gives us a chance to get someone else in if we can send him back

Yes send him back waste of a wage.

Really unfortunate for the lad but we're not in the position to keep him in.

Hard to argue with that real shame for the lad and the team Ashe has qualities to create that no other player has.

Maybe so but it's not the best optic, is it? He sticks pictures from the Canaries on Instagram then gets injured first day back off his jollies.

This few days away has been an absolute nightmare for the club.

Feel really sorry for him, must be devastating when your body just can't keep up with your choice of career.

For us though, as harsh as this sounds, I'm glad we're seeing this now before we get tempted into a permanent move in the summer. It saves us from signing another talented but chronically injured midfielder.

Disappointed for the lad, think he's got real ability in the top third of the pitch, but the loan has to be cut short to protect ourselves. Davies will find it devastating that his body is letting him down again.

I think he has to go, was a bit underwhelmed initially but he has improved recently, but if he's on the money he allegedly is, I think we should send back.

Should have gone back after his Bradford game. I was not amused to hear Parkinson break the news that he was staying with us.

Only caught a minute of the post match interview. DA may as well have declined the interview if he has lost respect for Matt Dean. I have lost a bit of respect for the pair of them.

Let's bin all interviews, in training vids, 'unforgettable' nights in McMenemy's and all such fluff. Dedicate all resources to improving on pitch performance, fitness and OS comms.

I can get all the fan reaction from RH, The Fishy, Podcasts and Hodo. I go to games and hear the reaction of thousands of fans. It's organic and real.  The media interface is gaslighting pap.

Nah.

The likes of Barrington and Obikwu, there is a bigger picture around future loans to consider, but with Davies we need to consider what he's likely to contribute for the rest of the season, whether we want him permanently, and how likely that would be. Unfortunately, when I consider those points, I think it's time to send him back to Wrexham.

Do GTFC have the option to 'send back' or is it up to Wrexham?

You would hope it’s a mutual break clause.

It might work for Wrexham as they can get an episode about him being broken in intensive care , written off, but against all the odds they nurse him back to a heroic return.

Let’s face it the McLean story this week will give them a good few episodes, maybe they should have used a stunt man.

It's 4-6 weeks. I'm embarrassed by the comments on Twitter about sending him back.

Poor fella has been unlucky. Hopefully he will be back for the sharp end of the season.

Good to hear it's only medium term. He's been very unlucky with injuries. Let's hope he is back to the form he showed in the first couple of games of the season when he's back.

I think it's time to admit this is a deal that hasn't worked out for any of the parties. In 6 weeks time it's the middle of March, at which point I imagine thoughts will be turned to next season without him.

Feel for the lad.. has obvious ability but struggling with his body.. must be very frustrating. Unfortunately.. we took a risk/gamble and it hasn’t quite worked out - had issues with Wrexham latterly hence the loan. If he can get fit and sustain it he’ll be a positive for us.. but that’s the ‘if’.. looking like March before he can return..

He needs games.. the bigger picture for the lad himself is his career.. must be a concern, and he’s got too much ability to dwindle down levels imho.

We'll need him for the playoffs U.T.M.

Providing he manages to get back fully fit, it would be really nice if he had to really battle to get himself back into the team...

Artell spoke earlier in the season about not signing players based on the fact you like them or they did well for you previously and to take that bias out of decisions.

I’ve a feeling we did that with Davies, I reckon the Shaun Pearson connection played a big role in bringing him in and the lure of what was at the time a marquee signing probably blinded us slightly. He’s been really disappointing for me, even when fit and I can’t see him being cheap either.

It’s a shame because I was really excited about him signing, but even when he’s scored in games we’ve not really seen a brilliant all round performance from him all season.

I’d be surprised if there wasn’t some option to send him back, but I’d bet that Wrexham hold all the cards.

Wonder if whilst he is injured Wrexham pick up his wages? If so it's not a big deal to carry on with him in the squad but if not then we'd surely be best calling time on the deal. That's if it isn't too late, could it be we've gone past a cut off date anyway? If he's staying then obviously hope the lad gets a third bite of the cherry at managing to keep fit for at least a couple of months and showing what he can do.

I like him more than most seem to on the fishy but no way do we want to be signing him permanently based on what we've seen, because what we've seen is he is far too big an injury risk I am sorry to say. I really like him and think he would be ideal for a league 2 team that is dominating games, would get lots of goals, not sure that he really suits us anyway as I don't think we will be that sort of side.

If he's under contract to us (albeit on a loan deal), we're going to be paying our share, come what may. If we wanted to send him back and make Wrexham pay it all, we'd need to have their agreement, I'd have thought. Can't see that happening.
