Just watched the interviews with the new players and all of them said that working with Karanka was huge reason for coming, that speaking with players who had worked with him before everyone had a lot of respect for him! Think we have a manager who demands respect but respects his players too, also signed some great experience and some hungry players who have proven in this league they can be brilliant but most have been dropped in recent months/ this season and sound like they are keen to prove to themselves and the world that they are good enough. Got a few fighters in which is just what we need! Excited now for coming months!

I agree to some extent with your point. However the ones who have left weren't really putting pressure on the starting XI. There is real competition now and even if there aren't wholesale changes on Saturday the pressure on those who do play will be ramped up knowing the players in the wings are more than capable of replacing them now not some hangers on who we couldn't wait to get rid of.
