Apparently, that ceiling was offensive to VfB Stuttgart chairman Alexander Wehrle.According to a report from Goal, Wehrle took a swipe at Bayern Munich during the clubs annual general meeting, addressing both transfer negotiations and fan support.Speaking to club members, Wehrle revisited the high-profile transfer saga involving the striker. Despite rumors that Woltemade had previously settled on personal terms with the Bavarian giants, Bayerns valuation peaked at 60 million, considerably less than the selling price. Stuttgart held firm on their evaluation of at least 75 million for the attacker before eventually reaching an agreement with Newcastle United, who met, and exceeded, their asking price. Wehrle dismissed any notion that Stuttgart was acting out of spite towards Bayern, explaining that the financial proposal from Munich amounted to little more than a butter pretzel.The Stuttgart executive also took a direct jab at the atmosphere created by the traveling support from Munich. Reflecting on their DFB-Pokal final clash in May, Wehrle claimed that their supporters completely dominated the stadium, and that he couldnt hear any Bayern fans in attendance.Stuttgarts firm negotiating stance ultimately secured a record fee from the Magpies. But on the other hand, Wehrles cheeky comments regarding fan noise were clearly designed to rally the local faithful, after his statements were met with thunderous applause.Do you think Stuttgart was right to hold out for 75 million, or did Bayern dodge a bullet with that missed transfer? Let us know in the comments!
