I'm sort of the same.
I wouldn't have a problem with him hanging around as cheap backup for a variety of positions.

He shouldn't be expected to create clearcut chances (so no as attacking midfielder or winger) nor to defend the flank in the back four (so no leftback). He's useful when he's on the left where he can cross now and then, has to cover a lot of space, close the gaps and make the occasional offensive run.. hence he did well vs Napoli, as this was his exact role.

Juve plan Palladino-De Ceglie swap Wednesday 20 January, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus are hoping they can tempt Genoa into giving Raffaelle Palladino back by offering Paolo De Ceglie in exchange.
The Bianconeri are due in Liguria this week for talks about Palladino and Domenico Criscito, two of their most promising youngsters, who are part-owned by Genoa.
Roberto Bettega and Alessio Secco would like to bring Palladino back to Turin in their bid to give Ciro Ferrara as many options going forward as possible.
The 25-year-old can play either as a second striker or on the flank, but it's his ability to attack the spaces that has attracted the attention of Bettega and Secco.
Palladino has scored four goals in nine starting appearances for Genoa this season. He last appeared for Juventus in 2008.
Tuttosport understands negotiations are underway, but they don't expect Genoa Coach Gian Piero Gasperini to sanction the deal.
The Rossoblu sold Sergio Floccari earlier this month and would be tempted by a big offer for Hernan Crespo, so they need bodies in attack.
De Ceglie, the Juventus full-back, looks set to be used as a bargaining chip, but Palladino is also said to have reservations about the move.
The Bianconeri recently brought back Michele Paolucci while Andrea Candreva is also on his way from Udinese by way of Livorno.
It's not certain whether he would get enough regular first team football especially with David Trezeguet also returning from injury in a couple of weeks' time.

why buying palladino back? the guy hasn't anything to offer. we brought candreva cause we believe in him and paolucci as a 5th option striker. the reason to bring palla is????
we can't change to a 4-3-3. diego will be wasted. in addition to this we will have to buy another lb if er sell DC. and i don't see us buying a quality one on winter.
