The Sky Sports pundit felt he needed to say something after noticing comments from Germany about Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade
Jamie Carragher has labelled Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge "a joke" following what the Liverpool icon believes are "disrespectful" comments about new Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade.
Woltemade has been a major hit at St James' Park since his club record £69million transfer, becoming only the third Toon star to score in each of his first three home Premier League games following his strike in the 2-0 weekend win over Nottingham Forest. Alan Shearer and Les Ferdinand are the others.
It came after the Germany international opened his Champions League account in midweek, and after Rummenigge dubbed Toon chiefs 'idiots' for paying such a high fee to sign him from Stuttgart. Bayern had themselves been keen to land Woltemade in the summer, but refused to pay their Bundesliga rivals' asking price.
Newcastle then stole in towards the end of the transfer window and secured his club record transfer for a fee of £69million.
And Carragher hopes Woltemade continues to make look Bayern foolish with his performances in a Newcastle shirt.
"I really like him 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 Sky Sports.
"I think it is 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.
"That is our job, we are pundits, not somebody who is associated with such a fantastic club. That is really disrespectful and when I saw that I thought: 'Do you know what? I really hope that lad shoves those words down his mouth'.
"And at the start of his Premier League career it looks like he is going to do."

Chelsea fans love praise so they're not taking Cara's critics at an ease , but in the matter of high prices for average players I think the German Chief was right .
right to call others idiots?

We know the Bayern Munich club chief comments is borne out of malice. Clubs in Germany are wiser now. We know how they sign Lewandowski and others back then. Their anger is because, there's no more free lunch for them.
