Would like to dial it in doesn’t know the number- beautiful! 

sadly we know the numbers though. 40 mill. SEVEN years. 100k a week. We are never shifting that millstone. No other team in their right mind is taking him unless it’s heavily subsidised and what incentive does he have to ever leave?

It’s the worst transfer in the club’s history - by a street mile. It isn’t even close. Because, as you point out, it’s not just the ridiculous fee: it’s the obscene wages (for his talent) and, worst of all, the length of the contract.

And we’ve signed some ringers down the years.

 

I struggle to think of a worse one as well tbh. We’ve had far shitter players before but they were usually peanuts on short contracts. This is an absolute albatross. 

Todibo and Aguerd are pretty bad and we are likely to lose a lot of money on both but Kilman is a manager killer and a club killer for a club the size of ours where we can’t just shove him in the reserves without thinking about it. 

Felipe Anderson may be the runner up given what we ended up giving him away for and Haller is up there along with Scamacca but we could at least sell both of those and loan/get rid of Anderson. No one is taking Kilman off our hands. We either have him stinking up the pitch or rotting on the bench for another six years unless we can just strike a deal for him to leave. But why would he? It’s not his fault we offered him this obscene contract and he’s not making half that money anywhere else. He certainly never playing for England.  We’ve paid international levels of money for a championship level defender. 

But at least he has a futsal background as we are reminded of by commentators every single game… 
Probably why he can’t head the ball or tackle then.

But I guarantee he probably can't believe the windfall his club has had as a result of the sell on clause. 10% so £4 million quid.

Which is fuckin' enormous by the standards of a non-league club

Due diligence? Nah! Who needs that shite?

Fauxstralian wrote: ↑24 Aug 2025, 10:07 I think everyone assumed Kilman was signed at the request of Lopetegui who had him at Wolves
Obviously overrated and like all our central defenders afraid of heading the ball 
Just watched MOTD & our defending from balls into the box was Sunday league at best 
Cucurella who is about 4 ft tall wins a near post header & the keeper doesn’t dominate & the centre halves are weak & second to everything 
And I wouldn’t say Chelsea have lots of tall physical players

Have always said is that Potter plays a back 3 as he doesn’t trust any of the centre halves as a pair. That makes us one short in midfield which is already the slowest & weakest in the league
We have just over a week to find two or three competitive midfielders at least one centre half & a mobile striker

You would think that if signing a player like Kilman who began his career at Maidenhead United before Wolves picked him up as a bargain punt that someone at the club would have the nous to ask an ex-WH legend to give them an opinion or heads-up before spunking all that cash.

Alan Devonshire has managed Maidenhead for well over 800 games and he would've been well aware of Kilman at some point in his various tenures at the club. 

It's obvious to us but why not ask someone who has first hand experience of the fella from a young age?

Why bother doing that when you can trust the opinion of an agent? Yeah, that's much more reliable init?

It has to be up there with -

Dale Gordon
David Kelly
John Radford
Ilie Dumitrescu
Richard Hall
Marco Boogers
Joey Beauchamp
Davor Suker

The list is actually quite endless.

That back three on Friday is, genuinely, the worst defence I’ve seen in the Premier League since the days of Gary Breen.

Todibo can’t finish a game, no concentration.

Aguerd doesn’t want to be here, dialling it in.

Kilman worst £40m in history. Can’t run, tackle, head, jump or read the game. Would like to dial it in: doesn’t know the number.

Add a terrible new goalkeeper to that, the slowest and least creative midfield in the league and a striker with the movement of a corpse and you’ve got about eight players you need.

By next Sunday. Good luck.
