I agree with most on here, he has the chance of being the best of the modern era - that being since the influx of money that came with the prem. I don't think you can compare with previous eras owing to the difference between what was amateur, semi-pro and then professional with limitations on wages, foreign signings, ability to use subs etc.
Some will then say he is already the best of the prem era, I think it all comes down to trophies ultimately as when you look back at record books the stats count, the performances are not remembered by those that weren't there!
