Partly that, partly a couple of things I've heard from people who know better than me, and partly the simple fact that while JRS is mooted to be outbound on loan, Ebiowei seems very definitely being kept around. It's all circumstantial evidence, I agree, but quite a lot of it is mounting up. The other thing is that I think we are quietly preparing for life without Wilf which means we need to at least blood another wide man this year in addition to Olise. Maybe Wilf will sign a new contract; I think it's still possible but we'd be irresponsible if we didn't have a Plan B in case he didn't. With that in mind, one of JRS or Ebiowei was always going to have a role this year.
