The upcoming January transfer window is the first without Daniel Levy and presents our owners with an important opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to the on-pitch success we all crave.
Blockbuster signings are not necessarily required, as spending big does not always guarantee success.
However, with the Lewis family prepared to make substantial funds available, it is crucial that our recruitment team spends wisely.
We can all agree we need a striker. Rumours range from Jean-Phillipe Mateta and Jonathan David, to Igor Thiago and Samu Aghehowa, to name just a few.
Purchasing Mateta could result in a swap deal with Brennan Johnson. It is difficult not to feel sentimental about Johnson for obvious reasons, but I think it could be a good time for both parties to go their separate ways.
With Antoine Semenyo unlikely to join us, if Manchester City secure him instead, this could allow us to finally agree a deal with Savinho. Either way, we need a left winger.
We could also do with reinforcements at left-back, with 17-year-old Honest Ahanor among the players who have caught the attention of our scouts.
Another goalkeeper could be useful, not as a replacement for Guglielmo Vicario, but as a better training partner and genuine competition for the number one spot.
Who we sell or send on loan is just as interesting as who we acquire, as this also offers an insight into Thomas Frank's vision for the future.
Despite Richarlison's goal contributions this season, now is the time to offload the Brazilian. Sell him while he is performing and before he gets injured, again.
We need to release Yves Bissouma and Manor Solomon, although obviously the latter is currently on loan.
That is a substantial wish list. Let's hope we start the year as we mean to go on.
