Ecuadorian Seagull at Chelski.
Doesn't bear thinking about.
We have to start winning trophies for him.
I was gonna post that Dec's moved from DM to left-8 with no problems. That he can also play an old school box-to-box, so he can basically play what they call a 6 {and I call a 4}, an 8 and a 10.
That's he's played CH for us this season with no problem {like Gilby or Nacho did} and that if you look at his finishing with both head and feet, he could play the false 9 just like Kai.
So imo he could play anywhere in the spine of the team from CH to CF, making him perhaps the most complete footballer we've ever had*. But I thought if I posted that you'd use loads of facts to prove that I'm speaking bøllocks so I thought better of it.
*Though Santi could play 8,10, LW, Rw, LB and RB. Basically anywhere except CH, DM and CF. But Dec can play the whole spine. {And could play the Freddie role in AW's side. And could play the inverted full back in MA's team. I wonder if he can play in goal like David Platt?}
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
