Sergio Canales today signed a 5 year contract with Valencia CF. Valencia CF agreed the transfer of Sergio Canales with the deal for Gago, Valencia CF wanted at first to extend Canales loan to 1 more year, but Real Madrid weren't going to let that happen, so Valencia CF decided to purchase Sergio Canales.
So far Sergio Canales hasn't shown much, mostly because he's suffered with 2 injuries of the knee and has been out for pretty much a full year.
Valencia CF will pay 7.5 million euros for Canales, steep price, but in the deal was also included Gago, so it balances itself out.
Didac Vila our supposed new left back has returned to AC Milan after it was officially confirmed that he has a serious injury by Valencia CF medical staff.
When Didac Vila arrived he was subject of a series of medical tests at which it was determined he had a injury, but further tests were needed to determine how long he would need to be out. The newest tests show its a more serious injury and thus Valencia CF decided to return him to Milan.

Valencia CF won the self hosted tournament Naranja or Orange, though it took penalties to do so.
It was a fun match for a preseason match, Pellegrinho starting with the strongest squad, while Porto started with a little bit possibly weaker squad than normal. Match started slowly with Valencia CF having more possession and using the speed on the flanks to penetrate Porto. The duo of Parejo and Tino Costa seemed good, with both dropping in and out of defense, so obviously no clear defensive midfield and while it seemed to work against Porto at a preseason match, its yet to be tested against strong competition in a competitive environment.
Guardado was very active on the right flank as expected and we managed to see several of his penetrating runs with good dribbles to go along with it. He did have few good crosses and decent play with Jonas, though nothing to brag about, on the other side Feghuoli was a lot more suppressed and wasn't able to influence the game as much, although he did have some good runs, especially just in the start when he managed to intercept and then steal the ball from Porto's defense. He also had one good opportunity of goal, but poor shooting skills destroyed the opportunity and one amazing cross for Soldado that should have been a goal.
The defense seemed decent, but clearly not played-in and baked so to speak, you need regular defense and players to know each other, so right now even with Pellegrinho as coach the defense seems shaky, although as a defensive unit we do seem somewhat improved.
Jonas wasn't very active and had some poor ball control and some wasted passes, so even though he scored the goal, he wasn't particularly effective. Soldado had received great cross from Feghuoli, putting him alone on goal and he completely missed the goal, that was very poor shoot and overall a very poor performance from him.
The second half exposed some more defensive mistakes, including the one that lead to the Porto goal, though Valencia CF would instantly return the favor and equalize with a good assist from Guardado for Jonas, who headed the ball into the net.
Then Viera, Bernat and Pablo came in, though not much changed and the play stayed the same. After a ton of changes on both sides the play became more chaotic and Bernat had 2 good chances, first a run alone, but failed to deliver the last pass and then a shoot opportunity, but his youth and inexperience showed.
Ultimately the match was decided on penalties in which Porto didn't score even once. Diego Alves had some comedy time though and that was fun to watch.
Valencia CF and AC Milan have reached an agreement for a one year loan deal for Didac Vila to Valencia CF. Valencia CF have a purchase option at the end of the loan deal that is said to be 5 million euros.
Valencia CF played its third preseason match against Armenia and only managed to get a 1-1 draw. There was no TV stream or internet stream, so all the information we got is from VCF official website and superdeporte.
According to them Valencia CF played very good and controlled the game, in the 75th minute Armenia scored a goal, but only 4 minutes later Valencia CF equalized through Feghuoli on the assist from Viera.
From what I could read and watch some of the highlights from the matches so far it seems that Viera is really playing superbly and really seems ready for action, but again the real test we'll be against Porto this Saturday at 21:30 O'clock.
