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 don't compare him to Messi, because although he is obviously an amazing talent for the futeure, he's pretty inconsistent. I have little doubt though that one day Messi will be one of the greatest ever. As for Fabregas, I just dont think he's as good as Ronaldo. Pretty simple decision for me to make really, he's an awesome player but isn't upto Ronaldo's standards by any means.
Kaka got the player of the year, which he probably deserved, but at the minute he is not playing as well as Cristiano (from what I have seen and read). Okay, if you were the one who now had to award one player with 'Current best player in the world', who would you give it to? And if you say the strange looking little spaniard, I think you are fairly biased.

Actually, I don't find it all that hard to compare players of different positions. Is Toure better than Rooney? At the moment yes. Is Van Der Sar better than Clichy? Yep.
