Its a meaningless list. No one person has the ability to compare all those players over a 60 -70 year period. One thing I can tell you for sure is that Theirry was one of the best players in the Premiership, the fact that you have Tony Adams, Roy Keane and Giggs on that list and Henry is not there, is questionable. I mean I can understand a legend like Giggs, even though he didn't reach heights Henry did between 2002-2006 in terms of individual performance, but Keane and Adams better than Henry?
Silly list like all other lists that compare thousands of players over such a long time period.

Oh and one other thing X, I love Roman, he was a player that represented a dying breed, I used to watch Villareal every week back when he was there. But to say he was better than Xavi is nothing short of laughable, I mean maybe you could say he had the potential and talent to be better(albeit unfulfilled) but if we're comparing players in terms of performance levels, consistency and results? even Roman will tell you he only wishes to have half the career Xavi had. When I say that I don't mean in terms of trophies won, because then even Pique can claim to be better than Cannavaro, but I mean in terms of individual performance and contribution to those trophies, for a long time Xavi was the barometer for midfielders in Europe, the guy was consistently one of the best in his position for 5-6 years.
