NEWCASTLE United new boy Nick Woltemade has shrugged off his record £69million price tag and is confident he can make Bayern Munich eat their words.

- By LEE RYDER Chief Newcastle writer lee.ryder@reachplc.com @lee_ryder

Bayern tracked Woltemade during his 23-goal campaign last term but copped out of a move when presented with the final demand for his services by Stuttgart.

During the aftermath of deadline day Bayern’s honorary president Uli Hoeness said Newcastle “overpaid” for Woltemade while Bayern legend Mario Basler made a grim forecast for the striker warming: “He'll have big problems in Newcastle”

Basler also blasted: “Uli Hoeness said it correctly. Woltemade isn’t worth £69m million.

“And he'll have big problems in Newcastle. I don’t think Woltemade will prevail in Newcastle. In my opinion, this move was the wrong one for Woltemade.

“Either he should have stayed in Stuttgart for another year or he should have gone to Munich. It all happened very quickly.
