Obviously we bought him to use in rotation for CM and DR, but he's been injured the whole time. He would probably have started against Palermo had he been fit, for example.

Juventus midfielder Romulo is ready to return to action before the end of the season, according to the player’s agent.
The 27-year-old joined the Bianconeri from Verona in the summer on an initial loan deal, but has played just 98 minutes this season across all competitions.
Romulo, who can also play at right-back, has been out for most of the season with a recurring groin injury, but his representative says he’s ready to make a comeback.
“Physically he’s fine, there’s no more pain,” Alex Firmino told Tuttomercatoweb.
“I think he can get back onto the pitch before the end of the season, though of course that’s down to the Coach [Max Allegri].
“He no longer has pain or discomfort, he’s done great work in Brazil and on Sunday will return to Italy.”
Under the terms of the initial transfer, the Old Lady would have been obliged to buy Romulo for €6m had he played 60 per cent of their games.
That target will not be met before the end of the season, but could he still end up at Juventus?
“I can’t say anything, that’s up to [directors of the respective clubs] [Sean] Sogliano and [Giuseppe] Marotta.
“Personally I think Romulo has everything it takes to be a Juventus player. In any case, he’s a good person and a good footballer.
“In any case, it’s a new start for him.”

Not good enough. We can't keep more mediocre players if we want to grow as a squad.
He was mediocre to begin with, later he got injured and now we are wondering if he will be the same player as he once was? WTF! Is it Del Piero we are talking about here?
Its best both for us and the player to let him go and play somewhere. The bottom line can't be all dimes and nickles.
