They've also been good in showing those young players faith as we saw in Raul Albiol and David Silva last season and now Sunny, Mata and Alexis this season.
The Reguerio transfer Racing have the clause from was so crooked anyway. They were both 2 of the 18 Primera clubs that had agreed that if you sign another Spanish teams player on a free transfer then you have to give them £1.1m in compensation. Valencia wanted Reguerio but didn't want to pay the money so struck a deal with Racing where they got him for nothing in exchange for this loaning clause to Racing.
Firstly Racing allowed Reguerio to be signed by a South American team on a free transfer but to have signed a contract that allowed him to leave for free. Valencia then signed him from them in a week and got their player for free, Racing got the loan clause and they both beat a loophole, everybody happy.
