Miguel Llera: Brentford loan move
LLERA MAKES BEES SWITCH
Blackpool defender Miguel Llera has joined Brentford on an emergency loan until December 7, with the Seasiders have a 24-hour recall on the player after 28 days.

Llera is expected to make his debut on Saturday when the Bees travel to Wycombe.
Sandro: Extends his stay at White Hart Lane
SANDRO SIGNS NEW SPURS DEAL
Sandro has committed his future to Tottenham by signing a new five-year contract, the Barclays Premier League club announced this afternoon.
Sandro joined Tottenham from Brazilian club Internacional last March and made an immediate impact, starring in midfield alongside Luka Modric towards the end of last season.
The Brazil international had been linked with Roma and Barcelona this summer but has confirmed that he sees his future at White Hart Lane by signing a new contract that will run until the summer of 2016.
Sandro was used sparingly by Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp after his arrival but became a fans' favourite last term thanks to his tough tackling and tireless work rate.
The 22-year-old played a major role in the club's Champions League last-16 victory over AC Milan and scored a spectacular goal against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
A knee injury suffered in the Copa America for Brazil this summer has kept him out of action this season and he is not expected to return for at least another month.
The Brazilian faces a tough fight to earn his place in the first team back when he returns.
Scott Parker, signed from West Ham on deadline day, operates in a similar manner to the youngster and Tom Huddlestone is nearing full fitness after struggling with a long-standing ankle injury.

LEEDS SIGN FORSSELL
Leeds have completed the signing of Finland striker Mikael Forssell on a deal lasting until the end of the season.

The 30-year-old former Chelsea and Birmingham player is confident the competition for places at Elland Road will bring out the best in him.
Forssell is confident the competition for places will bring out the best of him at Elland Road.
He told the club's official website: "I'm delighted. I'd had three good years in Germany with Hannover, but I've missed English football and really wanted to come back here.
"To come to a club like Leeds is fantastic. It's such an historic club, the team is good, the lads are positive, the facilities are unbelievable and the fans look brilliant."
Forssell played the full 90 minutes in both Finland's Euro 2012 qualifiers at the weekend.
He added: "There's big competition for striking places here, but I'm hungry for goals. There's some great players here and I want to fight for a place to wear such an historic shirt."
Butland: Cheltenham loan move
BUTLAND OFF TO CHELTENHAM
Birmingham starlet Jack Butland has made an initial one-month loan switch to Cheltenham to further his development.
The goalkeeper, who is only 18 years of age, made a successful debut for England's Under-21 side in their 6-0 romp over Azerbaijan last Thursday.
Butland is yet to make a first-team appearance for Blues but it is hoped he will get the chance to gain vital matchday experience at Whaddon Road, in a Cheltenham side managed by former City midfielder Mark Yates.
The Bristol-born shot-stopper will challenge Scott Brown for Town's number one jersey and could potentially make his debut in Saturday's home clash against Macclesfield.
