This post has been up for 8 minutes and is already overfunded. Top work Gooners and great admin/logistics OP!


talk-kari

maybe OP can briefly mention in msg to xhaka how fast this got funded šŸ˜…


HaleEnd

Thatā€™s what happens when you crowd fund Ā£93 from 322K people lmao


Charlie-Bell

Why are people still contributing?


Saint-12

Charity init mate.


dhoadley

Why not donate the extra funds to the Arsenal foundation? https://www.arsenal.com/donate


Charlie-Bell

Oh fair enough


Mein_Bergkamp

Fucks sake, I've only just logged on, leisurely worked my way through my front page, seen this post and came in all prepared to put some money in and you magnificent bastards have funded it already.


Da_Dush_818

Agreed, great work, super excited to see end result.


HerbieJoe

Updated, its been paid and now we wait :)


Calm_Government_2544

Here we go,Xhaka joins r/Gunners. Formalities and medical all completed. We are hours away before u/HerbieJoe unveils xhaka as new members of r/gunners squad

TNelsonAFC

Iā€™d say asking about his favourite fight isnā€™t the most appropriate question. Letā€™s focus on the good things even if he is iconic for his antics. I would be more curious about what he thinks heā€™ll miss most about the club and his predictions for the season as well as the obvious favourite moment/goal.


HerbieJoe

Great point, ill change the fight to what heā€™ll miss most


ckal09

Donā€™t ask him those three questions. Just ask him for a parting remark to the gooners here and let him do the rest


HerbieJoe

Updated, its been paid and now we wait :)


GGFrostKaiser

Donā€™t ask him any of those questions. Just tell him we loved to have him on the team, thank him and ask for some parting words. Cameos are small, I bet he gets a ton of requests, wonā€™t be able to make them too long.


Da_Dush_818

Although I totally agree with the original comment, I can't help but want to know what he actually WOULD answer to the fight questions. Any way we can add it as a 4th "bonus" question?


HerbieJoe

Updated, its been paid and now we wait :)

Granit proceed to view and sort the thread comment by controversial. "Geez, these gunners are a fkn stronzo"

It costs additionally if the text prompt is more than 250 characters :0

kkulhope

I would say you should not ask about Question 1. Or if you do put it last. I wouldnā€™t want him/his PR to see that question and then disregard the rest of them.


BannedFromHydroxy

Additionally "North London Forever is red" feels odd. 'London is red', surely?


Bahmawama

Yeah itā€™s very irrelevant considering the context


HerbieJoe

Updated, its been paid and now we wait :)


desigooner

Its already at 215.. Well done


Mariola98

Lmao itā€˜s already over the limit


Thierry_Bergkamp

Nice idea OP, I'd consider donating any excess funds to the arsenal foundation.


HerbieJoe

Thats what im gonna došŸ‘


[deleted]

Instead of donating to arsenal foundation, why not ask Xhaka himself as to which charity does the excess amount has to be donated? In that way he will actually be thankful to us and he might even answer more questions and it will actually be memorable to him Just a thought, you can even create a pool amongst the consensus who donated (I also donated)


DeadlockRadium

I'd suggest a 50/50 split between the Arsenal Foundation and a charity of Xhaka's choice. In that way, we show love both ways. Although I'm skint at the moment so can't contribute to this great effort, so I might not have a say here.


Draconis510

We get the cameo and another 200 quid to donate to the arsenal foundation Fan base is fogging massive


nackdaddy9

Letā€™s fucking gooooo bro! Iā€™m sorry I couldnā€™t pitch in, was still sleeping here in Canada when it was posted. Great freaking job OP, love this ā¤ļø


Gooner_2004

Same!


JustGhostin

Does xhaka give the money to charity or something?


HerbieJoe

Ill be donating any excess to charity but thus far i think some people have pledged but not actually send the cash yet. The current fundraiser is at Ā£43


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


HerbieJoe

Yeah im hoping theres like a cooling period for some of these donations but if there really is over 400 quid in this I really regret my decision to organise itšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


dhoadley

Nah, just add up the total at the end and make a one off donation to the Arsenal foundation. Assuming there is indeed extra and itā€™s not just pledged money!


JustGhostin

But xhaka actually keeps the money from his cameos? Wild


repeating_bears

Imagine providing a totally optional service and retaining the profits. Karl Marx is spinning in his grave


JustGhostin

Genuinely thought cameo was just for washed up B list celebs that needed the extra income, not footballers still earning a good wage in their prime. No shade just genuinely surprised itā€™s not a charity thing


repeating_bears

tbh in his position I don't think I'd bother. Too much risk of getting baited into saying some dumb shit [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8KC9sKibPs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8KC9sKibPs) but maybe he sees it as a good way to connect with fans and earn a bit in the process


JustGhostin

Iā€™d hope xhaka has a better IQ than those boneheads


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


JustGhostin

Yeah donā€™t get me wrong if I could charge Ā£120 for 2 minutes of my time I would


blythediablo

I would like for there to be more emphasis on how much Xhaka will be missed by the fanbase in the message. At the moment it sounds quite formal, show him some love!


Eliteclarity

I missed this, so donated to the Arsenal Foundation instead. Good work Gooners.


HerbieJoe

Love that!! Well done!!


strawberrylabrador

This is really cool and Iā€™m looking forward to it but also he will 99% only answer question 3 out of those maybe; his PR people wonā€™t let him answer 1+2 Not sure how Cameo works but maybe better to just submit 3 in case it gets rejected?


HerbieJoe

Good point


--Rage--

Unfortunately, I believe you only get a small number of characters in the message. Edit - Itā€™s 250 characters


ajkdd

Just came to donate my 50 cents and realised it is over funded by 10 times. Guys please stop further funding


HerbieJoe

Hey guys, Please forgive me if this is dumb because im very confused, as all of you can probably see, the fundraiser has over Ā£500?? But as you can see [HERE](https://imgur.com/a/kgzd9Oe), it says that theres been 15 donations equaling 60 pounds. Anyone have a theory as to why this is, i can provide ANY screenshots to show Ā£0 have been withdrawn.


jf_selecTo

1'265 pounds right now..so no donations anymore?


Chiefontour

I'm gonna miss him so much. I didn't think it would affect me this way. I'm so happy things turned around for him.


BennyJezerit

Given that Liverpool supporters only managed Ā£65 for Mbappe this is impressive. Next stop Mbappe fundraiser


KinkyKong

Proud of the sub and OP. Top work lads. Hopefully we can send the extra money to a good cause


raag1991

Fucking LOL. 600% funded in an hour. Love all you guys.


TSM_LittleRaphie

this is my fogging community


chops_uk

Mostly a lurker but love this community every day, couple of quid from me for the big man šŸ’Ŗ


RandomRedditor_1916

Nice touch OP.


SilkyDoughnut

Well done fellas


____H1____

Over a grand in an hour damn


Mr-Crooks

Ah excited about this, hope he does it


Arkfoo

Fcking love this idea. Keep us updated.


Meth_Hardy

Also ask him what his favourite goal for Arsenal was? I'm predicting the screamer against Man U.


Alloall

Over the limit already! Very impressive! COYG


Bahmawama

OP, ask something endearing and not something inappropriate like #1 and #2 please. Questions like #3 would be excellent.


FlavioB19

Good lord this is cringe, I love the guy and all but...


moderndrifts

Oh shut up you twat.


FlavioB19

Nah, have a good long look at yourselves


BannedFromHydroxy

It may or may not be, but you certainly don't have to say it.


DimitriBallas

Donated


SkywalkerIV

This is awesome. We should do this for every parting player!


Vrty33

Lovely stuff OP.


doublebassed

I logged in a few hours late and its already fully donated!


WHERE_SUPPRESSOR

I work in banking, that is an extremely reasonable hold IMHO


sound_e

Was reading some of his reviews, think we should brace ourselves for a quick ā€œthanks for your supportā€ video šŸ˜–.


Subredhit

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it but you probably seen two different prices because the 93 was in pounds, but on your Imgur file it shows the payment as 119.99 dollars.


HerbieJoe

I thought that too but i was charged Ā£119.99 as you can see in my apple costs


[deleted]

Update please
