Otherworldly compared to contemporary players isn't quite the same as otherworldly compared to all-time greats.

A. As stated above, it is difficult to really compare players through eras, so like baseball, the best measure is to compare to comtemporaries.
B. I'd say he is pretty otherworldly in vision and creativity among the all time greats, that's why I have him so high. BETTER than the other attacking MF in the current discussion. That's right, better vision and creativity than Platini or Charlton or Guillet.
And in a Chelsea system, I think they can definately find a place for a Zidane who doesn't score goals, but brilliantly sets them up for others. He can make a Drogba better as to offset his lack of scoring, as well as Joe Cole, Arjen Robben, etc., just with pin point passing into areas defenders are not expecting.
