Johnson was soon playing alongside Clinton Morrison, who had rejoined Palace from Birmingham for a fee of £2m (three years after Birmingham had bought him in a deal for £3.75m plus Johnson). Morrison was reported as saying that he had returned to Palace specifically to play alongside Johnson, much to the amusement of many Eagles fans, who saw the irony of the deal, Birmingham having effectively paid Crystal Palace £1.75m to take Andy Johnson. The two transfers took place between the Eagles and the former Palace manager Steve Bruce , who had been seen by fans as having betrayed the club by defecting to the Midlands side.

In the summer of 2005, with Palace having been relegated, Johnson requested a transfer prompting much speculation as to which club he might move to. However, on August 2 , 2005 , Johnson signed a five year contract with Palace for an improved wage (believed to be around £20,000 a week) and pledged to help them regain their place in the top flight. Chairman Simon Jordan blamed Johnson's agent Leon Angel for pressurising Johnson into handing in the transfer request.
