Fans of Premier League club brand former Wolves star their ‘worst’ ever signing

Wolves aren’t the only team struggling right now, as Nuno Espirito Santo and West Ham United are also in a spot of bother.

Despite a positive point against Manchester United, Wolves still find themselves 15 points adrift at the bottom of the Premier League table.

But it will mean nothing if Rob Edwards fails to build on the performance with Nuno Espirito Santo‘s West Ham United up next at Molineux.

Where do you rank Nuno Espirito Santo among former Wolves managers?

Surely he has to be near the top 💭

There have been rumours that both Nuno and Edwards could get sacked, which resulted in questions about whether a potential return could come for the Portuguese.

But, after the last performance, the atmosphere is certainly a little more positive as the change in formation made a huge change at Old Trafford.

That isn’t the case for West Ham fans, though, as it’s a former Wolves player who is winding them up.

West Ham fans fume at Max Kilman after Brighton display

Interestingly, Max Kilman has actually been linked with a return to Wolves, having been talked about in a potential deal with Jorgen Strand Larsen going the other way.

And Kilman is even still talked about in Wolverhampton, having come up as a popular search for supporters in the area in 2025.

But his displays aren’t pleasing the West Ham faithful. He gave away a penalty and pushed his own goalkeeper for the second Brighton goal.

Plenty of their fans took to X to voice their frustrations.

Would you take Max Kilman back at Wolves?🤔

West Ham fans have had enough of him…

@wcoyi17 was furious.

“Kilman is the worst centre-back I have ever seen play for West Ham. Game after game, he makes mistakes against Brighton. He conceded a penalty, and for Brighton’s second goal, he pushed our keeper in our own box on a corner.”

@WestHamDan90 agreed.

“Max Kilman is the worst signing West Ham have ever, ever made.”

@Isacvestholm claims Wolves will even get their first win this weekend.

“West Ham fan here – you lot are 100% winning. Our confidence is literally zero, and Max Kilman might be the worst player I’ve ever seen play for West Ham. He is absolutely honking, and that big lump upfront you have is going to absolutely bully him.”

@ClaretBluBlood isn’t too happy.

“Mate, I haven’t seen a worse CB than him. We’re trying to get Strand Larsen and add cash plus Kilman going back. 40m!!! The whole package will have cost us 75m by the time his contract is up!!”

@WestHam_Central even chimed in.

“Has there, man for man, money-wise, been a worse signing for West Ham than Max Kilman? Costs us every game.”
