Well, I'll put it this way, I consider Zidane's creativity and vision on the field to be a far greater than you do. To the point where it offsets (and in many cases goes beyond) his lack of goal scoring. It's not scientific, but the fact that he has been rated so highly (and won FIFA Player of the Year 3 times) without the high level of scoring usually attributed to other all-time forwards and midfielders shows that his other qualities were otherworldly, or at least they were considered to be such by the people who vote on such things.

So I'm not sure that you look at Charlton or Guillet as attacking MF depending on the role you want your attacking MF to play. Personally, I'd pick Zidane anyday over both of them, because I consider that creative spark to be that great in Zidane.
