“I have been offered the opportunity to play in European competition and the Champions League, and especially to be closer to my family,” Cana told PA. “This was not an easy decision for me though and I hope people understand.

“Since the first day I arrived, I have had an amazing story with Sunderland. I knew I would find the kind of club and support I needed to play my game. The people here love their club, they have passion and a proper identity. I gave my all for the club and it will always be in my memory.”

I followed Gala to keep up with Giovani Dos Santos, and their team is a mess. Bunch of big names, no identity in the midfield. But hey, at least he'll play a CL game and get kicked out real quick.

Sunderland have completed the protracted signing of Argentinian full-back Marcos Angeleri from Estudiantes.

Angeleri, 27, has signed a three-year deal and joins for an undisclosed fee. Angeleri has been training with Sunderland for some time, but had been unable to formally sign because his Italian passport, to which he is entitled through his father, had not been issued.

But with the paperwork now completed, Angeleri has become Steve Bruce's fifth summer capture following the acquisitions of Titus Bramble, Simon Mignolet, Cristian Riveros and Ahmed Al-Muhammadi.

Bruce said: "Marcos is a strong, powerful defender and will add depth to the squad. He is also very keen to get forward from that position so that adds an extra dimension to the side. He has been one of the best right full-backs in South America in recent years and has really impressed us when we've watched him.''

Angeleri began his career at Primera Division side Estudiantes in 2002 and has amassed 175 appearances for the 2009 Copa Libertadores champions. The defender, who has won three international caps, missed out on Diego Maradona's squad for the World Cup after injury ruled him out of key qualifiers against Colombia and Ecuador in the run-up to the tournament.

DONE DEAL!!!
Rennes striker Asamoah Gyan has arrived in Sunderland ahead of a club-record £12million move to the club.
The Ghanaian was one of the stars of this summer's World Cup and was shortlisted alongside Wesley Sneijder and Diego Forlan for player of the tournament.
The Black Cats were hot in his tail after his international exploits but an initial £7m bid was well short of the French club's valuation.

WAAY too much money paid for Gyan. The guy had a good World Cup, but has barely done anything at the club level to be worth that much--what, almost 10 million MORE than Robinho??
