I'm not sure he's the best.

How do you compare him to Fabregas for example?
Or Messi and Kaka.
Looking at (PL) statistics,
Cronaldo has 19 goals and 2 assists,
Cesc has 7 goals and 11 assists and plays much much deeper. He's actually doing some defending and pulling the strings in midfield.
I agree, it's hard to compare. Is Toure better than Rooney? Is Van Der Sar better than Clichy? etc. Sure, I could make my picks there (yes and no) but it's much easier to compare players who play in the same position. Comparing CM to CM is much easier than CM to winger.
