    Liam Kerrigan F Novara (loan from Como 1907) b 2000

    Scored his first goal for Como in a 10-0 friendly win against a local side, although he hasn't officially signed yet pending international clearance. Touch wood it's a formality and this doesn't end up like the Liam Scales to Bristol Rovers saga....



    There's a bit of money behind them this year apparently (hence the Fabregas link) and they might be dark horses for promotion to Serie A. They've also got a reasonable draw in the Coppa Italia (Serie A strugglers Spezia away, with the winners home to Pisa or Brescia, both Serie B) and a spot in the last 16 isn't out of the question.

    Article on the42 about him here.

    Fabregas to Como confirmed too.

    Kerrigan scored four in a 15-0 win over a local side - so five in pre-season all told.

    Saturday away to Spezia will be interesting. Fabregas' signing has to be a statement of intent at promotion. Or bankruptcy

    Or both inside the next three years. It's the Italian way.

    On the bench for the season opener away to Serie A Spezia in the Coppa Italia.

    Fabregas not in the squad at all, so I guess he isn't match fit yet

    On for the last 15 minutes, but they're 4-1 down. Bit of a wake-up call given they presumably have promotion ambitions

    First Irish player to score in Serie B, by my reckoning. Now we've had three players playing in Italian football already this season - we've never had more than one at a time - and there's a decent possibility of Abankwah joining Ebosele, Connolly and Kerrigan on the pitch there soon

    did Conor McCormack and Michael O'Connor play senior football together when they were at Triestina?

    Both only played in the primavera with Triestina. Mikey Collins and Nathan Collins are cousins actually.

    Is Serie B a level high enough to draw Kenny's attention here? If Connolly isn't making the grade (so far; it's far too early to call anyone's season) then surely Kerrigan must be worth bringing into the squad at some point for a look.

    I don't think it is tbh. Its a very strange move for Connolly. If Kerrigan rips it up he'll get attention all right though.

    Probably not, when you think that Elbouzedi finishing second in the Swedish league and Graham Carey playing, and scoring, in the Europa League, and everyone appearing in MLS wasn't enough either

    Yeah, would agree with that. Connolly hasn't been in the Ireland squad for almost a year now I think. So if Kerrigan has passed Connolly out (and one goal doesn't mean he has of course), then he's just passed out someone who isn't in the squad anyway.

    Serie B is a strange league I think - in my mind it's a bit of a wasteland of disinterested clubs (like the First Division here) and small provincial sides who are only there because there's so many bankrupt bigger clubs in the divisions below. The one Serie B game I had about 3,000 people in a 20,000-capacity ground - that kind of stuff.

    This chart (seen here before) reckons it's between the Danish and Russian leagues though, in which case it wouldn't be outrageous to consider calling someone up from it if they were doing well.

    Think it should be enough for him to get some notice. Look at all the League One players that have been brought into squads and guys playing for St Mirren. If Kerrigan is performing over the next few months then could get a call up to train with the squad in November.

    The chart Pinapple linked is interesting. It says Serie B is significantly better than League 1 or Scotland, lending credance to JR89's argument.

    It does say there's a big spread in the teams, but Como have started well, with draws against Cagliari (18th in Serie A last year) and Pisa (3rd in Serie B). With money behind them (eg Fabregas), they could be there or thereabout for promotion. So if Kerrigan is keeping his nose in, then yeah, a call-up mayn't be out of the question. I think both need to happen though.
