Where you get your information from is a source, might not be the original source but it's a source non the less. Like I said, you either choose to believe it or not. You asked where the idea came from that he was obsessed with Lingard, I told you there were a few. Are they fact or fiction?! You decide?! I merely pointed out what added credence to the stories. Moyes own words and lack of a striker incoming over two and a half seasons
It is good you find a good reason for the shortage of a striker, but it is hard to swallow his excuse when in need. Saving companies money....He might be searching for a long time until one that ticks all his boxes comes along. But hey ho, let's just say nothing and trust in those weasels. Or let's wait for Lingard.
What ever..each is entitled to his/her own opinion, ? which is right?! As you say only they truly know.
Without wishing to labour the point, if I make up a rumour it is not a source. If someone repeats that made up rumour, it still has no source.
And I didn't say there was a good reason for the striker shortage, nor did I say we should trust them either? That is a classic case of someone saying one thing and it being repeated wrongly, creating an unsubstantiated rumour
Of course it's a source, where something starts is a source, fact or fiction it doesn't change the fact it is a source. Original source is where it started, a source can be other than the original.
