They came in two waves, Silva and Moya were the Kingz first season the other two after the V3 melt down.
Donoso was a useful Centre Back, Moya never got much game time (but he and Silva weren't that hyped). The hype was all about Almendra and for about ten minutes a game he was genius, one of the best players in the league. For the other 80 ? Not so much.

Therein lies the challenge I guess, regardless of where a player is coming from around the world... it's relatively easy for a mgr/agent to create hype and a 20/40/60 minute highlights package but it's incredibly hard to judge what impact a player may (or may not) have over the course of a match or season... and coming from Sth America, Africa, Europe, Taihape, etc; creates it's own unique challenges when you take a person out of their comfort zone, and often throw in new language/culture/conditions...
Kwaznik aye? lol
Almendra had already been out for a season with Lower Hutt so wasnt contracted sight unseen.
