We got a full TV show here in France about RM players doing all they can to keep Carlo.
Ronaldo even posted on twitter about him wanting to keep carlo, and all.
Hermel also said they were 100% against sacking him.
I don't know what perez is thinking but as I said, that's something that can create problem in the dressing room when a coach is so loved by his players.
It had the same effect at PSG:
- TS revealed he almost left when Carlo left.
- Verratti said the same very recently.
- Zlatan too.
Nasser managed to keep them mostly because that was Carlo who chose to leave, not nasser sacking him. Rm it's different.

1. Carlo just a scapegoat? I agree.
2. He did not influence the transfers. Most probably he did not.
3. Was it all Perez? - I wouldn't know, but I 'd imagine that the Real Madrid board are constantly in the look-out for a new fancy signing. Perez is probably the Godfather though.
4. Real Madrid's midfield - I think Kroos is not good enough (Bayern were right to let him go) and the injury to Modric screwed them royally. No doubt about that.
5. Selling Xabi - Good call imo. He is very old, now Bayern are stuck with him. He can have a good game here or there, but great teams must shed old players ruthlessly.

About Xabi, I meant that Perez didn't really buy any replacement.
About Kroos, as I said recently, I admitted I was wrong. When I see what Rakitic is doing, I am not bitter anymore that Kroos didn't sign here.
Anyways, we agree that Perez is most probably the mastermind behind all this

Yes, but who could have taken the Xabi role? It is not that easy to find replacements to key players.
Yeah, Kroos is good, but he is no BS31.
Of course he is, and like me, he doesn't think that managers make that much of a difference. He is just toying with them.

Well, I don't know because I don't follow RM that much during their mercato, but there are plenty of players that could have been good enough as backups.
Also, he could have got at least one on loan. He got Chicharito after all (but TBH? I think he just took him to sell more Shirts
)

No other team where he can score 60 goals a year, Real is set up perfectly for him and he needs goals to keep up. His ego will keep him in the shackles voluntary.

Ronaldo would score more goals in L1.
But 1/ PSG can't buy him right now. 2/ Even if he reaches 100 goals, it would be more due to the poor level of the league than anything else.

That is absolutely true. He is also at a stage where some kind of decline is all but inevitable. If he moves to another team/league and his goals-count drops off significantly, then his past achievements will be questioned by some quarters. It is in his best interest to stay put. Now, as for RM's interest, that is a totally different story altogether.

Mexico has a huge population (plus even more in the US) hence the Chicharito loan was shrewd business.
As for Xabi replacements, I am honestly unaware of any.

In a survey, 70% of RM fans voted YES to sell Ronaldo if the rumor about PSG splashing 125M euros on him was true.
Ronaldo is already 31. If Perez wants to get a big check, he can't wait that much TBH.
But sadly that rumor can't be true since there's the FFP
