Jermaine Johnson has this morning revealed in an interview with the Yorkshire post, that he wants to stay at Sheffield Wednesday and is working hard to earn a new contract with the Owls. Brian Laws signed the Jamaican international in January 2007 from Bradford City for a fee in excess of £250,000. Johnson has gone on to make 119 appearances for the Owls, scoring 13 goals. The Jamaican has mesmerised and frustrated Wednesday fans constantly throughout his Wednesday career. He has shown flashes of exceptional talent and prolonged periods of lack of desire and motivation. Having said this the pacey Jamaican winger always has the ability to change a football match and scored some wonderful goals in a Wednesday shirt. This morning Johnson said, "I would love to stay but there have been no discussions and we don't know what the gaffer is doing yet." he added. "As a player, you always want to play high in the league and, when you are playing well, teams are going to come and look for you – but I want to stay and do well for this club." Johnson has lost his place in the team recently and some would say rather unjustly as however frustrating he may be, in this division Jermaine Johnson will always cause problems, because of his sheer pace and dynamic twisting runs. For me, offering Johnson a new contract is a must, letting him leave on a free transfer would be criminal, and a team somewhere would be signing an absolute bargain. Johnson's age restrains him from bringing in a massive transfer fee also, but his pace doesn't seem to be dying any time soon. The only sensible option would be to offer him a contract and keep him playing at Hillsborough for many seasons to come, no matter how frustrating he may be.
