I can see what you mean but Cesc was a bit different as there was a hometown discount since everyone knew there was only one destination. However, Real Madrid use to rely on their repuation very heavily a few years back when they had a president that loved to unsettle potential transfer targets. I can see clubs acting like that in the future.
