Jimmy Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 If Eli, Hoff and Good get one then Zahra is more then deserving of some man love. Not only is he a very promising talent he's also a top bloke. If it wasn't for that scum bag that shall not be named he'd be fighting with Mate for that spot on the wing. Get back amongst it soon buddy. Discuss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marteaux Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 He is Maltese. And I have a feeling it's going to be a while before we see Adrian come close to making the first team. The injury has really stalled his progress, just hope that he has stunted it. But even if he was fully fit and firing, I couldn't see him appearing reguarly anyway, we've got a lot of depth out wide.

He's perhaps just below Mate in terms of ability. I have no doubt he'll be making regular appearances by the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt he'll be making regular appearances by the end of the season. Uhh, no it isn't. That's definitely something an Italian would say / think.

marteaux Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Take it from someone who has watched Zahra in 3 youth games since he has recovered from injury, he is nowhere near Dugandzic, and the only way he is going to get a crack at the first team at the level he is playing at is if Dugandzic, Williams, Worm, and Germano are all injured. He isn't a shade of the player he was last year. He has been robbed of his deadly pace and touch. Severe knee injuries will do that to you. The whole situation reminds me of the Simon Colosimo/Ashley Cole incident. What a player Shime could have been if he'd not been hacked by Cole. What I'm trying to say is that his career is not over, but he's got a lot of hard work in front of him to get back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malloy Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 zahra is still not 100% he said so himself. and i do agree with you he doesn't look that great in the youth team compared to what he was, but alot of that could be confidence and a bit of subconcious worrying about another bad tackle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingawesomeness Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 He's a fair distance off making a senior appearance, still has to get some km under his belt and play a full 90 in the youth team before getting a look in for the seniors. I'd be willing to guess that he'll be a RB once he returns, simply because he'll get to pick and choose a bit more when he goes for dashing runs and he mentioned to me a while back that he prefers RB to RW.

Baresi Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 It will be a long time before he is recovered from this injury completely. As mentioned, its not really the physical issue... Even after the body recovers, he will need to regain full confidence is using his knee and pushing it to the limits, and that is going to take at least a few more months. Imo will be hard pressed to play senior games this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LIBBA] Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I reckon he might be a good chance to play off the bench in the Derby. With Behich, Babalj and Dugandzic all most likely going, we need to fill in those spots. Would love nothing more then to see him come on and score the winner in the Derby. I'd go right off lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LIBBA] Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 BTW, Zahra's Maltese. His mum's sides Italian and you always go by your dads side When i was in Malta last year, there were talks that the Maltese National team wanted him to play for Malta.

kontra.11 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Marrone will go at the end of the seaon so Zahra should take his place next season. Gives him abit more time to get right and I see no reason why he wouldn't be successful as a right back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huzie Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Sounds like he's off to the MLS, would be a perfect replacement though. Don't know if he would come though because he's a a personal trainer/fitness freak and hes properly got better facility's in his back yard.

cadete Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Played in the NYL yesterday, he played the full 90 and also scored a goal, promising signs for Zahra. His hard running, endeavor and hardness at the ball was at a massive contrast to his other NYL games this year... It was good he scored the "Goal" but his performance in general was the real positive, I have to admit I was getting worried for Zara about ever recovering but I now think he is going to be alright after what I saw on Saturday.

tomby Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yeah agreed, didn't think he was ever going to recover, was a serious injury which has kept him out of the game for a while, love to see him back to full fitness and playing in the 1st's squad very soon, but would hate to rush him into the squad when not up to full fitness.

JVR04 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 lol the goal he scored was funny as went through the net lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 The goal was good and his endevour was ok, but as with most things NYL the movement off the ball could've been a little better, and I think that reflected his kind of average pass completion rate. That and it was ridiculously hot. I'm looking forward to him getting back into the first team, he's definitely a great prospect with Marrone pretty much gone at the end of the season.

mus-28 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014  Perth Glory have released Adrian Zahra after two seasons with the A-League club. Zahra, 23, made 18 appearances and scored three goals for Glory after being signed by Ian Ferguson back in 2012. The winger burst onto the scene with Melbourne Heart in 2010/11 during a trial period and was rewarded for his early form with a two-year contract. But his period with the Heart was marred by an ugly tackle from then-Melbourne Victory skipper Kevin Muscat in January 2011 which cruelled the rest of his season. Zahra struggled for game time under Glory's ex-coach Alistair Edwards, a fact that fed into player ructions leading to Edwards' sacking. He will be best remembered by Glory fans for the two goals he scored  against Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Heart in the recent campaign, which were followed by stunning acrobatic celebrations.  Read more at http://www.fourfourtwo.com/au/news/perth-release-adrian-zahra#PCFJC8KhztoQQDvk.99  Wouldn't be surprised to see JVS bring him back as he'd be on a fairly low wage and became a regular during his time at the club. While not an out and out attacking winger he was always good when away from home with his pace on the counter and willingness to defend, something that Mate doesn't offer often enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
