Forest boss Davies sorry to be losing Ramsey back to Arsenal

Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies is sorry to be losing Aaron Ramsey back to parent club Arsenal.

Davies admits he will certainly miss the 20-year-old.

"Aaron has been a pleasure to have about the place," he told Forest's official club website. "From working with him on a daily basis it's clear to see he has a wonderful future ahead of him.

"He has been not only a credit to himself in the time that he's been with us, but also a credit to Arsenal.

"Unfortunately, we haven't seen as much of him in action as we had hoped because of the weather."

Ramsey has played three times in six days after making his full debut in a 5-2 win over Derby on December 29, coming on as a 54th-minute substitute during the 2-2 draw with Barnsley on Saturday.

"We have a duty of care where Aaron is concerned and it wouldn't have been fair to expect him to play two games in such a short space of time after so long out through injury," Davies added.
