Trainers, players and TV experts work in England on the “idiots” statement of the former Bayern boss. Now an ex-international criticizes him for his choice of words when changing Woltemade.
The discussions about Karl-Heinz Rummenigges statements about the transfer of Nick Woltemade do not tear in England. According to Newcastle coach Eddie Howe (“I think that things are actually irrelevant”) and attacker Anthony Gordon (“A little stupid”), ex-professional and TV expert Jamie Carragher have now positioned itself significantly.
The former Liverpool professional was indignant at Sky Sports about the choice of words of the Bavaria supervisory board. “I saw this quote a few days ago and it made me angry. And I’m not a fan of Newcastle United,” said Carragher.
Rummenigge said at the BR at the BR about the change in Woltemades to Newcastle United: “I can only congratulate them in Stuttgart that I, I say now in quotation, an ‘idiot’ who paid so much money. Because we would not have done that in Munich.”
Carragher now replied: “This is a joke. When Bayern Munich, a really respected football club, you shouldn’t talk about a German player – so disrespectful.” In his view, it is the task of experts to evaluate transfers – not by someone “who is connected to such a fantastic club”.
With his criticism, the 38-time English international is part of a growing number of voices that do not appreciate Rummenigge’s statements. British media such as the “Daily Mail” or the “Telegraph” had mocked FC Bayern because of the missed commitment Woltemades.
FC Bayern has long been a prospect for the attacker, but withdrew due to the high transfer of transfer from VfB Stuttgart. In the end, Newcastle United signed the 22-year-old for around 85 million euros.
Since moving to the island, things have been going well for Woltemade. He scored four times in seven competitive games, and on Sunday he scored his third goal in a row while playing against Nottingham Forest.
