That might be a good way to make best use of him. With all the injury trouble he's had he may be past playing 50 odd games a season but he's a top quality player to have on the bench, or for cup games or resting players. You probably wouldn't get too much argument from him either considering the age he is and the injury woes he's had.You gotta ask the question... Will King Kompany get back in barring rotation/cup games.
