BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | C | Colchester | Perkins 'not happy' at Colchester
I see former Rochdale player David Perkins has handed in a transfer request at Colchester "after failing to settle in the area". What are the hidden attractions of Rochdale?
Our main priority is to avoid relegation. He has good experience of working at this level and seems like a good choice from that point of view. Still got something to prove and still hungry to go further in his career. Is he the man to take us to Falmer? Who knows? But short term contract keeps...
SORRY! I've just spent the last two days at the Holiday Inn, Taunton where Gary McAllister, Steve Staunton and the Leeds team have been staying and I've done nothing to disrupt their training. All very low key in their approach. Hope they get stuffed tonight.
