If it’s true, poor decisions all round. He’ll be back in Championship next season, and probably playing against us as yet another departure highlights a lack of ambition.
It’s not as if he wants to go ffs.
I got hopeful to soon if that’s the case

I would be surprised if Fellows went to Ipswich, they signed Ogbene for £8m yesterday and he's also a right winger. They also signed Hutchinson who plays that position earlier in the window for £18m.
That said, they do seem to have operated a kid in a candy shop approach to signings this summer, so you never know.
I do expect him to go though, sadly, otherwise where is the Johnston money coming from?
I wouldn't be surprised if he went to Everton as Dyche has always liked having old school wingers who can get to the byline and cross. This seems to be Fellows' bread and butter.
Personally, if selling Fellows means Johnston comes in, along with a cash injection to buy another and alleviate our financial problems, I'd be content with that. As much as I like Fellows, I think Johnston is the better all round player currently and at £3m would be an absolute steal. If he can replicate the form he showed last season, he'll be worth a lot more than that this time next year.
Of course, ideally we would ship Jed and/or Grant to sign Johnston and keep Fellows. But I see the Fellows departure as more realistic.

Ipswich apparently have already had 2 offers turned down. I'd try and sell him and have him back on loan for this season. Good fee and keep him for one more season.
We have to accept we will always have to sell our best players unless by some miracle we get promoted.
With MJ about to be seen in the New shirt it's not all bad.

That would be the dream scenario, we sell him to one of the bigger clubs who would loan him back to us this season. Freeing up the cash to sign Johnston in the process.
The teams who have been linked so far - Ipswich, Saints and Everton - wouldn't be big enough to do this. But who knows, maybe Chelsea are in for him, they love a 7 year contract

hmmmm, wonder if there is an truth, the next 24 hours will be interesting. Personally, we need to keep Fellows, see if Jed goes..................this will be a fun 24 hours. What other surprised will there be !

We have to hold our breath for one more day. All over at 11pm Friday night.
I don’t want Fellows to go but. Any help think that the money will eventually be too much to say no to.
If that is the case I hope we have a cunning plan to buy someone last minute.

Tell ya what..... IF we manage to keep Fellows and get MJ, and IF we manage to get & keep Maja, Dike and Cole fit (OK - any 2 from 3).... we could be at the start of a very good season

Not sure how much (if any) say Carlos has in proceedings, but it'd be nice to think he can point at the performances and results we've got from our three matches so far and say "give me the tools and I'll get the job done."

On a permanent as well, you would like to think they would not have let him go, unless a replacement in an area we are so short in, was already assured.
