Rummenigge calls Newcastle a sucker, Howe: Transfer fee is determined by the market, Waltermad is great

Bayern executive Rummenigge previously said that Stuttgart found a "fool" who was willing to spend huge sums of money on Walter Mad, indirectly derogating the Newcastle club. To this end, Newcastle coach Eddie Howe responded to the remarks.

Eddie Howe said: "The transfer fee is determined by the rules of the market and it doesn't depend on a club. We are very happy that Nick (Walter Mad) was joining us.

"I think he showed a very good start in a difficult time because he went straight into the game and had barely any decent practice with us." I think he did a really, really good job, so we're so glad he's been joining us. To me, the transfer fee is simply irrelevant. ”

As for whether the high value will put pressure on the players, Eddie Howe added: “I don’t think he has that kind of personality. I don't think he'll think too much, and that's one of his great strengths. The criteria for people to judge him will be his performance on the team and his future contribution to the club. ”
