This may sound crass but if it was any other Arsenal player (and this may have included Ramsey and Eduardo), maybe the club would try to get them back as soon as possible whilst taking the appropriate precautions - just like at any other club.Quote:

I don't know what's going on with him right now since they seem to be handling things in the dark now (probably to avoid media attention), but I trust Arsenal will do whatever it takes to sort him out.

ARSENAL star Jack Wilshere has been disciplined by UEFA for breaking strict player rules by appearing to boast on Twitter about betting on his team.
Euro football chiefs have slapped the England midfielder, 20, with an official warning for implying he had placed a wager on a team-mate in a Champions League match.
Crocked Wilshere — who missed Euro 2012 with an ankle injury — has been given a formal ticking-off for bringing the integrity of the game into doubt.
SunSport revealed in December that UEFA had launched a probe into his tweets.
He said fellow Gunner Emmanuel Frimpong was “worth a cheeky £10” to open the scoring at odds of 150/1 in a clash with Greek side Olympiakos.
The England starlet was not involved in the match himself because of the same injury.
But as a result of a seven-month investigation, after being tipped off by The Sun, soccer bosses reached a decision yesterday that he had broken its laws.
A UEFA spokesman said: “The player has been warned for being in breach of the principles of integrity of matches and competitions.
“The disciplinary measure was a warning.”
During the game on December 6, when Frimpong hit the sidenetting with the score at 0-0, Wilshere also tweeted: “Frimmy nearly won me some money there!”
All players are banned from betting on games involving their own sides, even if they are not taking part themselves.
Wilshere is no longer on Twitter. The £50,000-a-week star closed his account last month.
A player found guilty of breaching betting rules could face a hefty fine and even a ban.
Both of his references to betting were deleted immediately from his Twitter profile that day.
And later he insisted he had been only joking, tweeting: “I didn’t actually bet on the game. I know we’re not allowed to! I was only messing just to be clear.”
Twitter :lol:
Hope hes banned til Xmas tbh seeing as he wont play again til 2013
jack had other bets though, he bet 3k with spurs fans we would finish above them and defoe made the same, is that not betting on your own team?
and nasri and morgan had a bet over which team would win a trophy first so thats betting on your own team too. how come no investigations into these bets or is it just bets on your own team in matches?
Fair point, Ollie.
You cant bet on matches involving your own team.Quote:

Neither was the ****s and Nasris
right so you cant bet on your own team in a match but you can bet on finishing posistions etc?Quote:

That bet doesn't come under UEFA's jurasdiction. The one (not that there was an actual bet apparently) regarding Frimpong, does.Quote:
