he is not a bad player at all ... maybe not good enough to be a starter at a team like Juve, the old Juve that is, but would be a very useful back up. He started most games for Napoli last season and kept Gargano on the bench.
People are mostly overreacting here as they are expecting super signings instead they get someone like Pazienza.

With Milan in CL when they need basically two top-quality players for more or less each position on the field, no, I'd not be happy if one of those spots went to Pazzienza.
Juve, being out of CL, however, will not have enough important games to deal with so having Pazzienza as a back up is more than fine as he is one player who is unlikely to complain due to spending too much time on the bench, while being good enough as a reliever.
And the guy came for free, with low wages ...

I don't agree with the premise either way. But chances are he will receive a decent amount of time considering how we usually have injury problems and he'll be the option to plant right in front of the defense should we defend a lead. I'm not comfortable with that either.
Hopefully we don't see a minute of him because he's not a good player.

Sure it's early days, but all we've heard over and over has been "we'll sign players of quality." Thus far, they've brought us a washed-up Pirlo, a mediocre Ziegler to start at LB, and maybe another "squad depth" signing in Pazienza. That's what last year was supposed to be for, "depth and numbers." Same old story. It's arguable whether we even really need the guy, but mainly, the backlash stems from his arrival being directly on the back-end of all that "quality" lip service they've been paying to the supporters. If this rubbish transfer had come later on in the window, after Marotta had made good on some of those statements about "a player of the stature of Aguero, Tevez or Benzema will arrive", I'm sure there wouldn't be much of a fuss at all.
I could see us starting with the 4-2-4 or whatever and then realizing the 4-3-3 is what provides us the best results. So lets say Pazienza is the 5th and final option for the CM role. Pirlo, Melo/Inler, Marchisio, Pazienza and a Pirlo backup. So Pazienza would be the Melo/Inler backup or the defensive option off the bench. Any injury to one of the DM's or Marchisio would mean he sees at least some time on the pitch. If Conte is adamant about sticking with the 4-4-2, then he might just go with Marchisio as the Pirlo replacement and stick with 4 CM's. That way Pazienza could potentially see a lot of time.
If we stick with the 4-4-2 throughout and Pazienza is the 5th player, then Marrone or Ekdal should have been brought back.
