Maybe underselling Brimmer & Maclaren a bit due to recency bias. But not that excited about any of the Kiwis. Elliot & Champness are exciting but inconsistent and the rest are completely unproven at A-League level.
Edit: Elliot for example, I thought the sky was the limit for him in Talay's first season, but then he spent a whole year (or more? Can't remember) not playing in Greece and then took a while to get back to his best with the Nix (though I still think he was better in Talay's first season), now has taken another whole year off. Might have greatly reduced his potential ceiling with the amount of playing time he has missed out in the crucial early years of his career. And we all know Champness' story. I think it is safe to say he'll never be the player he could have been had he been 100% focused on football.
