Many more than those who state that the new club that they currently play for and get paid shedloads by, just aren't quite up to it.
Btw, how is lesbo doing these days? Still revelling in last year's bit part?

In his case, he may be right - he is playing for Fergie.Originally Posted by BoringBoringArsenal
But to everyone else, he just looks to have picked up from where he left off with no discernable difference.
Next manager?Thierry Henry has opened the door to a possible third spell at Arsenal and says he is saddened by criticism of manager Arsene Wenger.
The New York Red Bulls striker is Arsenal's record goalscorer and played over 250 games for the Gunners between 1999 and 2007.
The 35-year-old says he would love to return to the north London club in some capacity when his stint in MLS ends.
He said: 'All I know is that I will be involved in the game for sure and hopefully be involved with Arsenal because that is the heart talking there, that’s the team that I support. Forget about me as a player, that’s the team I support.
'In any type or shape, if I can go back to the club I would love to do it, but it’s not up to me. That would be a desire, more a desire than something that can be officialised, I still have two years playing here and then I will see.
'But I would definitely love to be back with Arsenal.
The French forward says he is saddened to hear the criticism of Wenger from fans and pundits this season as Arsenal have struggled to keep pace with the title-chasing Manchester clubs.
He added: 'When you don't win people are always going to question your work, your legacy and what you did before. It is sad somehow but that is the way the game is. What are you going to do?'
'For me, it is difficult to hear, difficult to see, but for me the boss will always be Arsene - always great for me and I know what he has done for the club," he said.

Is it arrogance or Wenger being a bit shit?Arrogant Wenger to blame for Blackburn defeat, claims Arsenal legend Wright
The former Gunners striker says the Frenchman is "not bothered" about winning the FA Cup and claims the club's exit from the competition is down to the manager
Arsenal legend Ian Wright has accused Arsene Wenger of "sheer arrogance" following his side's FA Cup exit at the hands of Blackburn.
Theo Walcott, Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere all started on the substitutes’ bench as the Gunners slumped to a 1-0 defeat which ended their cup run at the fifth round.
Colin Kazim-Richards notched a 75th-minute winner to stun the hosts and, speaking on his Absolute Radio 'Rock ‘N’ Roll Football Show' after the game, Wright laid blame for the defeat solely at Wenger’s feet.
“You have to blame the manager for the sheer arrogance of not putting enough into the competition,” he said.
“The fact is when you’ve got your manager talking about fourth place [in the Premier League] being the only priority, why are the players going to be any more up for it?
“The manager has made it clear that the FA Cup is something he is not bothered about, but what he is missing is that the FA Cup is something that is worth winning. It’s a great day for the fans.”
With Arsenal 21 points shy of Premier League leaders Manchester United, FA Cup elimination leaves the north London club hoping Champions League victory can end their trophy drought.
The Gunners host runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening in the first leg of their last-16 clash.
Wenger talks persistently about his priorities and ranking one competition over the other, that's bound to rub off on the players.
We won't win a trophy again with him in charge, you can bank on that.

Looks like he's our new manager.
Laudrup would be awesomeKh
IAN WRIGHT has tipped Swansea manager Michael Laudrup to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
The heat has been cranked up on the Gunners boss this week after his side were knocked out of the FA Cup by Blackburn and humiliated at home to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
And Wrighty reckons Laudrup, who leads out the Swans in this Sunday's Capital One Cup final, has what it takes to succeed the Frenchman — though he still hopes Wenger can turn things around.
The SunSport columnist said: “Laudrup could maybe step in, who knows.
“There is so much pressure mounting on Arsene now I would hate to see him go out like that.
“I have been shouting from the rooftops for many years now about the deficiencies in respect of replenishing the squad and buying the kind of player that is going to get Arsenal back to, not just qualifying for the Champions League, but getting past the quarter-final stages and really having a good go at it.
“If we are not careful we are going to end up going for fourth spot every single season and if that does not happen — then what?
“With Arsenal, apart from the Bruce Rioch situation, they aren’t too quick to sack people.
“They’ve given Wenger time and put their faith in him.
“If I’m totally honest I think he deserves the time because of what he’s done for the club and many people will agree.
“Personally I don’t want to see Wenger go out on his sword, I want to see Arsenal get back to a situation where they are fighting it out with the big boys again.”
Wenger showed the strain of recent results when he hit out at critics in his press conference on Monday before the Bayern clash.
And Wright, who played under the French manager for two years, believes he is to blame for “everything” that is going wrong at the Emirates.
The Gunners legend admitted: “Watching Arsene Wenger in that press conference hurt me.
“It made me feel very, very sad because as much as I don’t think he would ever admit it, everything that is happening right now is ultimately down to him.
“Yes, he sends the players out to do the business but you have to say he is to blame.
“We’re all still very much in the dark about the money situation at the club, whether he has money and doesn’t want to spend it or he’s a company man and he’s protecting the board.
“Whatever it is I think we should have found out a long time ago because all of the mystery just adds to this unnecessary pressure on Wengers shoulders.”
Arsenal currently sit fifth in the Premier League, four points adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham and at risk of missing out on Champions League qualification for the first time in 15 years.
If they are knocked out of Europe by Bayern, the Gunners will have gone eight years without any silverware.
And Wright added: “Arsenal are in danger of slipping into a similar situation to Liverpool, struggling to get a squad together and attract players to get back into the Champions League.
“Liverpool have an unbelievable European record as a club but they just can’t get back on track at the moment.”
