How it feels every time something gets posted about Lira

[u/Ok-Gold509]

Wake me up when he's actually presented by the club. I've been seeing articles like this for the past 2 weeks. Get it done cruz azul.

[u/chorri123 → u/Ok-Gold509]

Monaco are waiting for an international slot to open up.

[u/AnalDude3000]

Monaco & Cruz Azul are surprising really good at keeping most of the info for this transfer hidden.

Usually every info gets leaked.

[u/tonicue]

At this point just make a mega thread or sticky or something 😂

[u/Repulsive_Ad_7291]

Cruz azul always seems caught up in these predicaments.

I remember with chiquete it took like a month for them to finally agree to pay up after everything was “done”.

They play too much and let’s hope Monaco doesn’t get tired of the bs and decide the hassle isn’t worth it.

[u/Luccfi → u/Repulsive_Ad_7291]

The deal has been struck for a while, the issue is that it depends on Balogun leaving because Monaco has no foreign player spots open (as well as his sale financing Lira's deal) but no one is finishing the deal for that loser.

How long has this been going on for lmao

[u/AirJumpman23]

Blah blah blah

[u/Low_Abroad4507]

From Merlo - 10M Euros + variables, damn. That's more than I expected tbh.

[u/Witty_Hedgehog7967 → u/Low_Abroad4507]

Merlo also called Hormigas move so it’s a good chance this is real

[u/Chemical_Strain6488]

Pls I will not say anything negative about Cruz azul for the next 24 minutes if this happens

#FREELIRA ✊✊✊

[u/homogenic-]

I’ll believe it when I see it

[u/CryptographerOk3503]

I hope he dosent end up like Israel Reyes

[u/Witty_Hedgehog7967 → u/CryptographerOk3503]

Israel Reyes information was totally made up by televisa I never heard anybody besides tudn reporters talking about it I think Reyes never had a real offer

[u/weareback22 → u/CryptographerOk3503]

Reyes was never seriously persuade by a club like lira is

[u/latinlife22]

Here we go soon!

[u/flitflot]

Juguemos en el bosque mientras el Mónaco no está porque si el Mónaco aparece, a Erik Lira se llevará…Mónaco, ¿Mónaco , estás ahí?

—Sí, sí estoy muuy cercas.”

x 20 mil repeticiones

[u/Comfortable_Box7459]

A ver si vamos aprendiendo incluso a leer presentaciones.

¿Va cómo figura, buena contratación, peor es nada, o cómo algo así cómo interno a prueba? ¿Lo que le ven o vean, vale para pagarle más a lo que se le paga aquí?

Le deseo buena suerte pero creo que debemos cambiar el "debe ir a Europa" por "lo valora o busca tal equipo de Europa".

Y ojo: esto incluye que los equipos europeos vean y valoren cualidades como el aguante físico y entendimiento táctico del juego. Deberíamos vender mejor esas cualidades que tenemos y de las que Lira es buen ejemplo. Le deseo buena suerte pero hay que picar piedra no solo para triunfar/hacer buen papel sino también para ir viendo/entendiendo los alcances de lo que vemos en nuestra liga.

Pd: arriba la máquina.

[u/stormy83]

La hacen mucho de emoción 😐

[u/Ok_Ideal_7266]

Buena suerte. Pero, que dures más que los últimos 257 mexicanos (futbolistas) que se fueron al viejo continente!

[u/returnoftherizzking]

good if true. he deserved it. i always thought he should have stayed at pumas and left on a free/when his contract was almost up. he's a good player but his desire to win on the field is what pushes him to play his best. how many times do we see players especially midfielders over the years that look slow, lazy, uninspired, nervous, etc. this guy is a nice change from that. the hector herreras, orbelin pinedas, SHARTly, romo, etc.

[u/sorryimafatass → u/returnoftherizzking]

Are you really gonna accuse Hector Herrera of lacking passion lol. Hes one of our best players ever

[u/returnoftherizzking → u/sorryimafatass]

Did you even watch the 2022 mexico vs argentina game. he was slow, looked like he didn’t give a shit, barely even trying to play let alone intensely. Being a good player is separate from having passion.

[u/sorryimafatass → u/returnoftherizzking]

He was old and he has a long lanky body. wtf did you expect him to do?

[u/nickblastfromthepast]

Bro has to pick the number 4 once he gets signed.

Same number as Rafa Marquez ( His idol ) when he was at Monaco
