No, people don't care about Newcasle as a club.
It is just that people like when a german national team player plays in a foreign league and is successful.
Because often many good german players would just transfer to Buyern and they would farm the league, or they would rot on the bench at Buyern.
Many people here prefer if a foreign club buys their players, instead of Buyern dominating the league by buying up the best talent.
It is rare for top talent to transfer outside the bundesliga.
Also he is a number 9 and the national team did not have a good traditional 9 for a long time now.
