You completely missed the point. I was comparing them in the sense that they are both elite level players who's games are said to not be fully rounded but both are so vital to their respective teams success that there is no way you could let either go. A bit of an overpayment is fine to keep them. Whether or not they have a "twin" doesn't change how important they are to their respective teams. You need to lock guys like this up.
