i would love to have him here. why is it overkill? just look at the current situation. marchisio injured and we are already one injury/suspension away from padoin starting in the cl against real madrid ( 
). furthermore he would be the perfect replacement for vidal. pogba does very well in the marchisio role and is a solid pirlo sub but he isn´t exactly a workhorse who never stops running .
i don´t think we are getting him now though. what are the rumors even about? now or for next season?
oh and btw: if we buy kolarov for 11mio please shoot me.

But you can take this line of reasoning as far as you want.
What if Vidal is suspended, Pirlo injured & Pogba has the flu when we play Madrid. Would you be fine with Padoin then? Because if you're not, we better sign someone besides Nainggolan as well.
As for Padoin, if Conte doesn't trust him at all when necessary, then he shouldn't be here to begin with.
I really don't get the obsession people have with needing massive squads.

So you think that Pogba, Vidal, Pirlo (haven't even included Marchisio at this stage, as only three fit in midfielder, or Asamoah) would cut down to say, 30 league games each, so Nainggolan can play 24? It's possible but improbable.
If you add all the midfielders into the mix you are probably looking at 25-28 games each, for Serie A.

There's a difference between having 1 or 2 players out and having the backups to cover them and exaggerating and saying every player will be out.
I didn't say we should have a massive squad, we should just get more quality. If he can be available for a decent price, there's no good reason why we shouldn't sign Nainggolan and maybe sell Padoin.
Well Marchisio is somewhat injury prone and Pirlo is 34, maybe Conte will want to rest him a little bit more for the more important matches. Don't forget he could be important to use in matches before and/or after CL games (if they are a couple of days apart) so the squad doesn't get so tired. If 20 matches is 1/3 of all games then so be it, I guess I underestimated 1/3. Better to have Nainggolan for 20 games instead of Padoin.
