Both weren't identified by Brands. That's the point.
No one is singing jug head's praises anymore I notice.
..I think it’s better to presume Silva/Brands acquisitions than one or the other. Your key criticism of Brands is him bringing in Mina and Gomes who are both still unavailable but Gomes might well be another player ‘identified’ by Silva. There is continual contradiction and selective use of detail in your arguments.
