Paul Pogba: Juventus midfielder banned for four years for doping

I always rated him as a player. I thought he was imperious. Loved watching his languid style.

Difficult childhood and thrown into stardom and ridiculous wages as a kid, unsurprisingly gone all wrong. Hope he’s alright

Sir Alex ain't got many wrong - and he was right with Pogba.

Personally I thought he was a bell end. Now I know he is.

Completely overrated. A classic example of smoke and mirrors.

Seeing as the club has no moral qualms with signing racists, drugs cheats presumably are no issue at all

On his day he was the best player in the world, but they were few and far between them.

Thinking about Roger Stanislaus, sacked by Hearn for 'allegedly' taking performance enhancing drugs.
From what I remember of Stanislaus, the drugs didn't seem to work.

Yes, we lost 3-0 at Barnet and he had a stinker. Tested positive and we sacked him.
