It's true that the sum is small, so Wednesday will want more for JJ. But don't expect that he can command much more than that, because he has come off a mediocre and injury-plagued season, and he is edging up there in years. Also, Wednesday has been hit with a winding-up order, so they are in financial difficulty, and might have to take what they can get. But it would be nice for JJ to move back up a division.
Wednesday boss Alan Irvine has confirmed that the Owls have rejected an offer from Championship side Nottingham Forest for winger Jermaine Johnson.
Reports this morning claimed that Billy Davies' men had made a bid believed to be around £350,000 for the Jamaican winger rejected by Wednesday.
And Irvine has confirmed the bid, insisting that club's won't be able to take advantage of Wednesday's current financial situation.
'If anybody thinks that suddenly there's a sale on at Sheffield Wednesday then they'll get a bit of a surprise,' Irvine told BBC Radio Sheffield.
'I'm certainly assured that that's not the case and I don't expect that to be the case.'
Irvine has said Johnson is not for sale although Forest could come back with another improved offer for his services.
I also think that a Wednesday fan's comment is relevant:
I wouldn't want to see him leave SWFC at least not for 350K as he is one of our better players. He's very quick, can beat defenders with ease but doesn't always pick out the right cross or pass. His finishing isn't that great either. If he could sort the negatives of his game out he would be playing in the Premiereship.
Sheffield Wednesday winger Jermaine Johnson has been ruled out for eight weeks due to a knee injury ahead of the Carling Cup first-round clash with Bury.
The Jamaica international, who missed Saturday's opening win over Dagenham & Redbridge, has been diagnosed with medial ligament damage after twisting his knee in the final pre-season friendly against Doncaster.
