You are not far off ,he is an excellent player , I don't know enough of all the players to make a choice but I remember two or three years ago I mentioned in one of my post that he was spurs best player or something in that regard to some spurs fan (maybe yourself ) and he didn't kind of agree .
I don't know man that is a tough one because there are tons of them. I can make a case for Mesut Ozil, with his 9 goals. There are tons but I am going to go with my guy from Arsenal/Germany. Erikson is also a wonderful player.
He had a poor first half against Liverpool, but he is becoming a pivot point of this Man United team, his overall game has much improved compared to the beginning of the season and it is keep improving, I'm sure he will be the best in the league in less than couple of years. At the moment I have to agree Eriksson is the best in this league, but the league is not over yet, Kante in Chelsea is also a very good midfielder.
