i believe him, nobody else has to.
I don't remember saying anything to the contrary.
I was just checking to see if I had missed him getting anything right or he is some sad wanna be (most probably a multi of someones) who just spend all his time saying "I've heard we are looking/interested in..." never actually putting his neck on the line and going one way or the other.
If you're happy to belive him like then fair do, I suppose it gets a discussion going if nothing else.
