No need to apologize. Welcome to Milan Mania!

Does anyone know his situation? Can he play with us in Serie A? Isn't he a Non-EU citizen?

Hurtado can be signed in June, if he convinces. Yesterday perfomance was good and promising. Great physical skills, decently fast, rough feet.
He must be followed in other games but did his job. Seems a promising player.

How do you rate/think his positioning?

I need more time to give him a mark.
How old is Hurtado? I think you can't consider these guys as ready articles, but work in progress. They have to learn and get some confidence.
Just like Pato.
Surely the Colombian defensive pedigree is very reliable.

He is 24 years old.

Yes, you are absolutely right. It's only one friendly match.

I only want to know your view about his positioning in yesterday game against Hannover.

Decent. Probably he lost the player on the 2-2 goal but in other situations he was reactive and read the play well.
He's not a technical defender, more a physical one.

Aha, thanks Giovanni.

Eh btw, nice to read your posts here again.

The pleasure is mutual. I've taken a long vacation on Christmas, after a never ending exam in December. Then i've come back on Jan 2nd, but had few time to get on MM.

This guy isnt good enough for a club like Milan. Like Giovanni said he is physical player. the second goal we concided came as result to his poor marking. When you saw he near player like Tiago Silva you can straight tell that they are different level player. As the tules in italy let you sign only two non-Eu player every season so Milan musnt sign players that got little chance to play. This season we spent our spots on Shenvchenko and the Urugaian player. Both of them not taking part in our season. They are the reason why Silva cant play. Silva is the first non -EU player so we got one spot. There is no chance that we will spent another year this spot on a not needed player and Kennedy is defently not needed.
