Here’s a hot take - nobody expected he would adapt so quickly and have so many skills in his locker. Dec often talks about his love playing as a 6, but his best games have been as a left 8. Arteta deserves a lot of credit here.
If you think that then you never really watched him a couple seasons ago. Bowen probably took all the attention in that season because I would say it was his break out season where he scored almost 20 goals but Dec was doing alot of what he does now in the midfield that season

Do you imagine him having the same level of performances had he signed for city ?
Yes but it would be less noticeable because of how much quality City have in every position and how much of a well oiled machine they are
