The Owls' new owner has got everyone thinking the same thing.
It has already been an incredibly busy transfer window at Sheffield Wednesday as the club look to fill the deep holes in their playing squad.
There have been eight arrivals at Hillsborough, with Barry Bannan returning to the club, while familiar names in Harry Gray and Louie Barry have also joined the Owls.
Indeed, Bannan might not be the only former Wednesday player to return to South Yorkshire this summer, as Jamie Vardy has been linked with a return to the club he started at as a boy.
Now, new owner David Storch has further stirred the pot with his latest social media post that has got supporters all saying the same thing.

Relegation to League One would usually cause misery among supporters, but for Sheffield Wednesday, it has lifted a heavy, dark cloud that has long been over Hillsborough.
With Dejphon Chansiri gone, the Owls finally have a chance to rebuild, and although they have lost Pierce Charles and Svante Ingelsson, they have acquired players who should make a significant impact in the third tier.
The arrival of Bannan always felt like an inevitability given what transpired at Millwall, whereas Vardy is viewed as a less attainable target despite being available for free this summer.
Vardy spent last season on loan with Italian side Cremonese but is now a free agent following their relegation to Serie B, sparking speculation that he could return to England.
The veteran forward has done his best to play down a return to Hillsborough, while there have also been links with fellow League One side Leicester City.
Now, Storch, whether he knows it or not, has got supporters talking after he posted the following message on his X account: "I'm hearing Freed From Desire in my head all day long! Go @swfc Owls!!".

Unsurprisingly, Storch's social media post has received a lot of traction, with Vardy springing to mind among supporters.
Others are unsure whether Storch's post is just a coincidence or whether there is in fact a deeper meaning to it.

While many Wednesday fans are understandably keen on a Vardy return, others are less convinced, but what are Henrik Pedersen's options in attack?
Jamal Lowe and Ike Ugbo are the two most senior forwards in the Owls' squad, although the latter's future is in limbo after an underwhelming couple of seasons at Hillsborough without a league goal.
Gray, Charlie McNeill and William Grainger all represent budding talent, but they could do with a proven goalscorer to help develop their potential.
Vardy would certainly provide that, and given what he produced in Serie A last season, there is every reason he could bang in the goals in League One next term.
