Max Kilman reacts as emotional farewell confirmed away from West Ham United

Max Kilman doesn't have the biggest of fan groups at West Ham United.

The defender was signed for £40million from Wolves back in 2024, somehow signing a seven-year contract.

As the dust settles on David Sullivan resigning from the West Ham board, these sort of deals prove he got it all wrong.

Kilman can't help the fee paid for him, but those at the London Stadium don't even want him to start in the Championship.

Consistent errors and poor all-round skill in possession from defence is a recipe for disaster, and Nuno Espirito Santo knew that.

Konstantinos Mavropanos and Axel Disasi were preferred, and nobody knows what the future holds for Kilman in east London.

West Ham will join the Molineux club in the Championship next season, but Rob Edwards is already steps ahead.

Sullivan may have moved on, but that means planning for a new squad, the ins and outs, has moved nowhere.

Wolves have already confirmed a huge new contract for Andre, with Kieran Trippier also set to sign.

So, it's no surprise that Matt Doherty will now leave Molineux.

An old teammate for many years, Kilman liked the Instagram post waving farewell to the defender, as West Ham continue to remain quiet.

Wolves are streets ahead of West Ham already

The Old Gold are moving quickly to ensure that Rob Edwards has the best possible chance of returning to the Premier League.

It's clear that they know who will likely move on, and they have plans in place to fill those gaps in the squad with big-name players.

West Ham, on the other hand, don't even know what day of the week it is.

Nobody knows if Jarrod Bowen will stay or go, but everybody expects him, Crysencio Summerville and Mateus Fernandes to pack their bags.

That can't be too late, though, or that uncertainty could lead to a bad start and in the Championship, that can be unforgiving.

As for Kilman, don't expect to see him much, even if he stays.
