I don't know, current best player... I think if you're going to judge players, you can't do it with some short period of time. Adebayor's scored (important goals) in 8 consecutive matches now and worked his ass off, is he the best current player?

Maybe I am biased picking Cesc, and maybe you're biased picking Ronaldo.
I don't know how Cesc is not up to Cronaldo's standards. Because he's not as quick or doesn't dribble and do stepovers as well? Fabregas is a leader on the pitch and he breaks down the opposition with his vision. He defends, passes often and accurately and scores goals too.

It also seems to me that Cronaldo is a bit inconsistent himself. When he faces a world class full-back he often goes missing. Sure, he's good at raping the less skilled defenses with his pace and technique, but coming from the middle trying to open up the defense with passes is as hard against poor teams as it is against big teams, if not harder due to them defending with 10 men or something.

Btw I also think Clichy is the best left back in the Premiership.
That France call-up was long overdue. He needs improvement only in the last third, shooting and composure-wise. Other than that he's brilliant.
Defending, attacking, crossing, tackling.
But that's just my biased ass talking.
