Paddy V doesnt have scoring goals to his attributes, so i know Essien is better than him.

patrick vieira had a goals per game average of just better than 1 every ten games which isnt bad for a dm. and when he did score it was usually an important goal, and if not that then it was something special. He also has a height advantage over essien. Also michael essien would only make it to number three in my all time prem dm's. This is because i dont think he plays with as much desire and passion as patrick vieira and roy keane played with during their times in the prem. Also vieira and keane could have captained any side during their prem times, because of their superior leadership qualities. i don't think essien has that. vieira was at arsenal for nine years and was a key player right up to when he was sold. essien has been at chelsea since 2005. meaning he will have to keep his place in he chelsea starting 11 until 2014 to rival pv. i do admit that i would prefer to have essien in my team than either vieira or keane next season. but if either of those two players were as good as they were six or seven years ago then essien would not have a chance.

Versatility is really something to have in the world of football

Essien and Hargreaves really do have true versatility. There's no doubt as to Veiera's quality, but that goal Essien scored in the E.C. semis against Barca was a fucking gobsmacker. Essien is the best of the best! Let me say it again: Pound for pound, Michael Essien is the best footballer in the world. I am certainly not a Chelsea fan, but the truth is the truth! As for desire, Veiera was never the same after Wenger refused to flog him to Real and most Gooners will admit it.

Best player in the world? im not sure, Probably the best midfielder after xavi, and iniesta, followed by kaka and gerrard. Pound for pound the best forward on the planet has to be Torres, he has everything.

nah villa is def a better striker than torres.torres doesnt make space like villa does,he doesnt set up as many goals as villa does,he cant take free kicks or corners like villa does.fairly sure villas scoring record is better than torres' too.but i think bobo is right about essien.going forward hes dangerous,defensively hes excellent,and hes versatile.cant ask for more than that

Essien does what both Xaví AND Iniesta do. For me, if Ronaldo is worth 100M, than these three are worth even more!

Xavi is the most elegant passer since the the dawn of time. I mean, he is Paul Scholes taken to an extreme. The time he has on the ball and the poise with which he moves it makes him a wonderful team mate.
The thing with Essien is that not only is he the best holding midfielder in the world, he is also an accomplished passer, a versatile player, determined, strong and serious (unlike clowns like Drogba or the Iberian Lesbian). This makes him the best player in the world.
As for Villa v Torres, the latter wins the battle by far. He might not score as much but he helps his team mates immensely by creating space in attack and bringing them into play. Torres is the best forward in the world today.

I dunno about best player but I'd say he's the most complete player I've seen in a while.
Skill, Desire, Tactics....he has it all. But to say he's the "best" is a kinda stretch...I don't think anyone can comprehensively say who is the "best" and for that matter what makes them the best. But Essien is probably the most complete.

Presently Essien is better than Viera, but I still think he has a way to go to be better than Viera at his peak - however, he certainly has the potential to do it and I expect him to
