He'll have to battle Claude Puel to the death for that.
Imagine a front four of Phillips or Burke on the right, Chadli on the left and a fully fit and firing Ben Arfa behind Rondon or Rodriguez. That would be a bloody good attack capable of causing damage.

With Palace, Pardew took Puncheon and turned him from a good winger with a good delivery into an central/attacking midfield playmaker. If he could do the same with Chadli then that would be the first step to a better attacking game.
A couple of comments on westbrom.com inidicate that Pardew will be appointed straight away if his interview and talks go well tomorrow. If so then credit to Williams and his team for acting so quickly.
