We study the well-known resonance , corresponding to a 
charm–anticharm vector state 
, within a QFT approach, in which the decay channels into DD, 
, 
, 
and 
are considered. The spectral function shows sizable deviations from a Breit–Wigner shape (an enhancement, mostly generated by 
loops, occurs); moreover, besides the 
pole of , a second dynamically generated broad pole at 4 GeV emerges. Naively, it is tempting to identify this new pole with the unconfirmed state Y(4008). Yet, this state was not seen in the reaction 
, but in processes with 
in the final state. A detailed study shows a related but different mechanism: a broad peak at 4 GeV in the process 
appears when loops are considered. Its existence in this reaction is not necessarily connected to the existence of a dynamically generated pole, but the underlying mechanism – the strong coupling of to loops – can generate both of them. Thus, the controversial state Y(4008) may not be a genuine resonance, but a peak generated by the and loops with in the final state.
