Carragher hits out at Bayern chief for disrespectful Woltemade remark
"'I really like (Woltemade), and I actually saw that quote a few days ago and it angered me and I am not a Newcastle United supporter,' Carragher said on punditry duty for Sky Sports. 'I think it's a joke really, coming from someone who is part of a football club, in terms of Bayern Munich, a really respected football club. 'He shouldn't be speaking about, especially, another German player like that so disrespectfully. That would have been all over the news in Germany, and his family and friends are there.'"
"But despite Woltemade making a promising start in the Premier League by netting two goals in his first three appearances in black and white, Rummenigge poured cold water on the idea that he would prove a worthwhile investment last week. The Bayern chief called Newcastle 'idiots' for accepting fee from Stuttgart he implied was outlandish, and suggested that Woltemade's former club had been making 'unacceptable' demands in their negotiations with the serial champions."
Newcastle signed 23-year-old Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart for £65 million, enabling Alexander Isak's subsequent £125m move to Liverpool. Woltemade scored two goals in his first three Premier League appearances and added further goals in Champions League and Premier League action. Bayern Munich executive Karl‑Heinz Rummenigge publicly criticised the transfer fee and implied Stuttgart made unacceptable demands, calling Newcastle 'idiots.' Jamie Carragher condemned Rummenigge's remarks as disrespectful toward a German player and inappropriate for a Bayern representative. Woltemade started in Newcastle's 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.
