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.
