It's all over for Paul Pogba. 

Its such a shame that Pogbas carrier had such a downgrade. I think his entourage wasn’t that healthy, from an outsiders perspective. Wish him all the best.

Imagine that : - During his peak days he played a Champions League finals - Won the World Cup 2018 - Was very close to play with either Messi or CR7 - And what I remember a lot was that in FIFA 11 or 12 , I saw Pogba as this insane young prospect from United that would be a Beast - How hard did he fall ….

Yaya Toure is everything we thought Paul Pogba would be for us at United

as someone of a similar vintage to you Liam, I saw pogba as an incredible talent, those juve years he looked a world-beater. when he joined united and it didnt work out i never held it against him. in fact i felt defensive of him when the gutter press bayed for his blood. Just a shame this is how his story ends.

The way I feel about Pogba is the same how I feel about Neymar. Amazing natural ability but lacked the motivation and drive to go beyond given talent

As a Frenchman, I can only look at him as a legend at country level. He was THE STAR of the France squad that won the U20 World Cup. He formed a great partnership in midfield with Kanté which was the best partnership since Makélélé-Vieira-Zidane. He won the 2018 World Cup for us and even scored in the final. To me, he'll always be a legend and a symbol of my teenage years as a football fan

He is deffo not a flop literally won everything except the UCL

I can see Pogba going to MLS when his ban is overturned. We all know how much he loves the limelight

not a man u fan but all I remember about Pogba was nothing to do with what he did on the pitch but was his and Lingard's little dance routines....right there it shows the beautiful game wasn't the first thing in his mind.....

He played his best football at man united with Andre herrera who sort of did what Kante did next to him at France. Had we managed to keep herrera, it would have been a different story.

When he played on the left hand side of midfield for Juve back in the day he was a good player but also showed flashes of that quality with France but the players around him were top quality when compared to Man U.

You feel old? I remember playing FM12 and Pogba was just a kid, where does time go? 😅

Don't worry pogba u got everything,, won world cup even u can score ❤❤..

minor error: he wasn't let go by Ferguson, he refused to sign a new deal because he was annoyed he hadn't already been put in the first team often enough

My favorite player growing up, wish it worked out better at Manchester

The thing with Pogba's doping is, it is difficult to say if he deserved the Ban or not. Cause, the substance it took, was contained in an integrator he took in America during the pre-season tour. Basically, he did not feel at the top, and still felt pain, so he decided to take an integrator to increase the muscle growth and go back to condition. However, in America, the doping controls, and in General, the controls applied on the products sold to the general public, are way less strict, and there isn't a precise or complete list of banned substances or chemical products, so he took this integrator, which was recommended by a doctor who was also highly recommended by one of Pogba's staff members, thinking it did not contain any doping substances. The confirmation of this version has arrived in september, when they found this integrator, which was regularly sold in America and also free to use for sporting activities, and found traces of the doping chemicals. Was he dumb for not saying what he had done to Juventus before the control, so that the club could avoid this situation? Surely, but, he did not want to take it voluntarely, and this has been confirmed multiple Times during the entire process, hence why here in Italy, no one is like, mocking, insulting, or going at him, the general Feeling is just like "was it really necessary?"

That Stormzy unveiling was a game changer for unveiling players. What I saw from him at Juve in 2013-2015 is that I’m gutted that we were deprived of his potential.

Pogba is the true prince who never became king. Such a high potential and such a far fall off

Paul Pogba was amazing... I remember that one game Maybe sir Alex was right?

I remember in the World Cup France against Ecuador and pogba was unstoppable, he was a man among boys , they had no answer for him 😮😢

I remember being at old Trafford and getting the pink kit with pogba on the back 2018 I think it was.This was a special time for me growing up.Never could of predicted this, for some particular reason it wasn't surprising when this was announced.But man what a player he was on his day !

Pogba was a phenominal talent, world class on his day and he was that for Juve, France and occasionally at United but he surrounded himself with people that seen him as a cashcow and didnt give a shit about him, his drive and determination dropped like a stone after the 2018 world cup and hes never been the same, bar say a handful of great performances. He should be a cautionary tale of why you need a solid inner circle around you to build you up, keep you driven and improveing. A solid career but it should've been more

Pogba is one of those rare talents that impressed me very early. I remember where I was and the things he did at OT in his first senior game. Fergie didn't reject him. His agent got greedy. When he came back to United I was excited but he just never seemed like the same player. I'm sorry his career went so badly south but he's not the first player to listen to bad advice or make wrong decisions. A shame.

I remembe the first time Pogba and Bruno played together it was great. I dont think there was any goals or assists from them but seeing how well they did together for that one game gave me hope for such a long time. I loved Pogba and hes why I became a United fan but damn worst decision of my life.

I been loving these videos recently, keep it up lad!

I had the same injury at a big rugby club, the windows for lateral meniscus tear they want you back on the field as soon as possible with 6-8 week light running post op. Football however with info shared between london clubs across clubs indicates a massive difference in recovery strategy and fear based rehab and muscular growth as our head conditioner described it. Checking, Pogba had a conservative strategy to the injury which is code for slow recovery but quicker than a normal person having recovery period. The big focus in the strategy of getting back as soon as possible is stabilisation and muscle building around the knee joints with daily monitored rehab. What is common in rugby at least is managed play load based on contract dependency I.e as a young player, there was very little risk in having cortisonsal injections in more extreme cases nerve blocking (something Mourihno got pissy about after and got a legal letter for slander and got one of the tabloids a libel case (I had the same guy who was Chelsea team doctor)) The reason I bring it up is that Pogba's camp knew that cortisonal lubrication injected into the knee was not suitable for football players on long term deals and expected to play late in career as over time it can cause the joint to seize up. On the NHS the absolute maximum amount people can receive is once every 6 months. I knew players that had 3 a week to lubricate the area around the cartilage to prevent scraping and further tearing; for pogba and Juventus, he was far too valuable to undergo the treatment as playing through injuries like that is reserved for less valuable commodities (sadly myself at the time). Ergo, the injection, the nerve block (as that puts a direct timer on playing career, Lampard having the same doctor, he told me that it's something done once it's over and a few more relaxed years were on the clock I.e his decision to go to MLS was directly tied to that last payout whilst he couldn't technically feel the injury that he was still suffering.) For his team, I can see why they sought the steroid method as whilst not thought of as such, steroids are designed to increase recovery instead of muscle growth (as well as muscle wastage which is key here I think). During that prolonged and conservative strategy, with no other intervention strategy available, usingnthe steroid to strengthen the key areas to support the cartilage which is an injury that is known to continually flair up and tear again so its understandable in a sense why they would elect to get extra help but the mistake was doing so whilst he sat on the bench. The testers even in rugby are extremely vigilant so why on earth they thought he would slide by I have no idea, one guy in the team had them show up to his daughter's birthday party to test him. Whether he thought star power and sitting the bench would protect him, it mentioned he was caught in a control test so the results they use as a baseline against levels of hormones above the average. All in all, it seems the strategy of getting him back playing took precedence but the call likely came from him or his camp as even though as Juventus would have been paying for someone not playing, they are way too conservative in treatment therapies to have pushed for an advanced return unless they were really in trouble.

Great video! There is just one point that I think is worth mentioning. The 2018 World Cup, which France won, may have contributed to the downfall of some of its players. The French squad was very young and talented, with many future stars emerging at that time. Winning the World Cup at such a young age may have led some players to believe that they were already the best in the world. In my opinion, this overconfidence may have hindered their careers or potential careers. Players like Ousmane Dembele, Thomas Lemar, Paul Pogba, Umtiti, Tolisso, Fekir, and even Mbappe (although he has the potential to still achieve greatness) have not had the successful careers that many would have predicted. Somehow, winning the World Cup seems to have had a negative impact on these once-promising young talents.

Juventus and doping go hand in hand since the 80s. They've a remarkably colourful history with use on their players. More so than others.

Ability and talent alone isn't enough, but for some reason or other, a fair few people thought it was enough for Pogba. He's always lacked graft and tactical discipline. He got away with it at Juventus when he had the freedom to roam around when playing next to Pirlo and Vidal, and got away with it for France because of Kante, who covers more earth than water. The people criticising Souness weren't alive to watch him play, nor have they bothered to check out his CV, they just dislike him because he's old. He knows what he is talking about.

On his day merchant.

Pogba: takes steroids, facing 4 year ban Cantona: kicks/punches fan, only gets a 9 month ban

I found your channel recently. I like your content a lot. Today I see you wearing a Barça shirt. I like your channel even more. Keep it up!

Souness is having a party. 🥳 sad fall down to be honest. Wonder if Man Utd move was worst thing to happen to him.

*José Mourinho been right about Pogba since 2017*

Always tune in to your content mate...Looking forward to longer vids once in a while because I enjoy your takes and the effort you put into them.Also a great listen when Im on my way to work or on my way home lol..Big up mate

As a united fan his story can be summed up in two words Wasted potential....

He's made more money than we will ever see good luck to him, i would be parting 24/7 and not running around in the cold.

Honestly I'm happy this has happened he can no longer give me flashbacks of FIFA 17 when he scored on me in almost every weekend League and did the dab every time.

298 days until I give Vizeh a 94/95 retro Blackburn Rovers shirt

This just make me feel sad tbh. Pogba at his best was one of the most impressive players to watch. As a United fan I was so excited when he signed for us and was pretty much convince he was gonna become the next United midfield great. There we flashes like the 3-2 comeback at the Etihad and the 5-1 vs Leeds where he had 4 assists, but after the 17/18 and 18/19 seasons there was such a massive drop off in terms of production and all the injuries. I'll always say that Paul "on his day" Pogba is one of the most talented footballers in the world.

He was the best player in a World Cup winning team and yet people say he didn’t reach the heights he could have. Shows just how incredible a player he was

99% talent 1 % hardwork

I for one can't wait for when I'm going to tell my grandkids about how good Pogba was on his day 50 years from now

He should never left Juve for united. Since Fergie left all the players wanted the spotlight for themselves and everything went downhill.

Fully glazing, I love your vids man❤

I cannot comprehend that this guy is 30 years old arleady... feels like yesterday he was banging them in for juve Edit: HE'S 31 IN 2 WEEKS ARE YOU KIDDING ME

The almost perfect embodiment of a mercurial talent, had it all to be up there with the best. Next to no consistency at times, just seemed to float through games at times. Wether it was attitude, outside influences or whatever, it’s a cautionary tale really, make the most of your chances before they are gone

As someone who has taken dhea. Its not without its charm but barely makes a difference. Better mood is all I've really noticed.

Remember it for its France day where he was always a beast

I’ll never forget Jimmy Conrad back in the kick tv days predicting the next player to win the ballon d’or after messi and ronaldo would either be Neymar, Isco, Gotze, El Shaarawy or Pogba. 10 years ago thought they would be ones we’d talk about the next generation but it never happened (having said that Gotze and Pogba won a World Cup Isco and Neymar have won champions leagues and El Shaarary won a confederations cup and europa conference league)

Its not a shame. He cared more about the fame than the game. This is simply justice.

I wish the best for him I hope he can remove from this

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard

Won the WC, best young player in 2014, scored in the final. Essentially completed international football

For ye old algorithm 👊 🍻😊

Hit the griddy

Refreshing to watch these current videos, feel like I’ve found a RU-vidr who actually gives great balanced opinions, none of the reactionary crap they’re pumping out theses days. Keep it up 👍

Imagine he comes back 4 years later and go on to win the treble 😂

That's the HARDEST THING ABOUT BEING A FOOTBALLER keeping your career to still SHINE Keppong your prime still up its not only football but every ATHELTE in the world

Another sad end for a player with incredible potential

As a Liverpool fan I wasn't happy when United signed him, unbelievable player on his day, and at times was amazing for United but overall definitely didn't become the player I thought he was capable of becoming.

He had every bit of talent to be the next Zidane and he squandered it

its sad so much potential

Paul pogba is the epitome of how having a big entourage, big brand in media and haircuts…yes even haircuts because I honestly feel he spent too much time changing his look (like 14 year old me on my player career mode) all of these can definitely dampen a football career, he is 100% still incredibly successful in football but I think we all thought he could have been In the KDB conversation unfortunately the path he chose are the things I’ve previously mentioned rather than just keeping it simple. At the end of the day the guy is more rich than a lot of us in these comments put together so it’s not all bad. This is a story of choose your bed and you will lie in it.

GOAT TITLE

People need to remember that their idea of what Pogba "should have been" is part of the issue here. He had an underwhelming time at Man Utd, of course, but he was brilliant for Juventus in his first stint and was always clutch for France, having won the bloody World Cup. He had a very good career even though the end has been a shambles. At some point people are going to have to just accept that although he didn't deliver at Utd the way they expected, it doesn't make him a failure, a flop, or a greedy guy who deserved to go down.

Didn’t look like he took performance enhancers considering his performance wasn’t enhanced

Damnnnn

If you did an LMA mansger 32 Man U* squad for all united players during the premier League era. Pogba would be lucky to get in. * based on their Man U performances only.

I wonder if the Saudi League is willing to make an exception to doping rules for him

Pogba is the great footballer that had some issues with self control

Pogba is up there with Joey Barton as one of the biggest helmets in the history of football

Souness used to get a tonne of grief for slagging off Pogba but everything he said was 100% correct. Pogba was lazy, arrogant, couldn't tackle, couldn't head a ball well and you would hate him to be your teammate when trying to grind out a win. Fantastic ability but realistically could not even lace the boots of proper midfielders who a lot of modern day fans call dinosaurs such as Souness, Keane, gattusso, Robson, Neeskens. Let's not forget Kante who absolutely carried him in midfield to win the world cup was 10x the player Pogba ever was.

He was a streets will never forget baller at juve. That 2018 World Cup was also good. However, I think people overemphasize his time at united being a flop, he was okay for the most part (not as good as juve). Discipline and bad attitude caused his downfall.

Pogba was one of the best players to watch ever, full stop, because even if he didn't do anything you just know, in the back of your mind "but he could though" and even in games he played like shit 99% of the time, that 1% would change the game he was dominant at Juve, completely dominant, and honestly, I feel like going back to Utd was what ruined him, he's not innocent himself, but the clownshow that is Man United since 2013 absolutely had an effect, I mean it's happened to how many other players, United is a cesspit at the moment and has been for years, which is likely down to the Glazers, but that can't be denied, hopefully it changes cause even tho I'm not a Utd fan, it's weird not seeing them at the top honestly I doubt we'll ever see PP play again, he's not the kinda player like Iniesta who would play just for the love of the game when he's like 72, unless this gets overturned, which I strongly doubt, we'll never see him again, which is sad, but yeah, even if this didn't happen he wasn't the PP of even the Utd days with all his niggling injuries

Yow ....hit griddy 🇯🇲

Pogba when he realizes that he got banned in February 29th so the ban Will be lifted in February 2040 instead: 💀

As a liverpool Fan, i knew Pogba announcement extravaganza was equivalent of Armani Suits and Spice Boys Fiasco from Utd, anyhow from 2016, we just got front seat to see capitulation of Utd squad and Alleged Virus AKA Pogba.

Remember when Mourinho criticize him on Man Utd and fans defend him 😂

Personally the most exciting midfielder I’ve seen in 20+ years of watching football

Nice video again. I really like your channel 😊

Could you look at dortmund vs Hoffenheim? Their squad are at 90% power (apart from Emre Can being a centre back) and they still lost. At the surface they have solid players but somehow aren't winning anything. Breaks my heart mate

Pogba was the most incomplete complete player ever

You feel old? I used to play EA International Soccer aka Fifa 1994 on the Sega Mega Drive. 😊

As a Liverpool supporter, I never, ever feared Paul Pogba when we played Manchester United. This is not to say he's a bad player, he clearly is not, but I never saw his name in the lineup and thought "Oh s**t, we might be stuffed". By then, everyone knew who and what he was: talented, skilled, and much more concerned about his profile than he was about the matches he was playing in. Sad end to his career.

I think the beginning of the end for him was going back to United. Mourinho was in decline as a couch with an outdated style of play and constantly beefing with players and staff, and the team wasn’t at a high level. I believed that he would become the scapegoat for everything because he was the only world class player in the beginning and that’s exactly what happened. On other teams like City or Liverpool bad performances were the coaches fault or just something that happened, but for United everything was Pogba’s fault as if he was the only one playing. And I’m not saying he was flawless throughout his time there, but it felt like the rest of the team didn’t get half of the criticism he got. If he had gone to Real or Barca it would’ve been better for him and we really would’ve been able to see what he was made of.

Bro went from Pogback to Pogbye

Vodo is real guy. We just witness it today. His brother cursed him this is crazy

i see him as an amazing and a big talent but the saying i always have when this type of stuff happens is HE had too much money and didn't know what to do with them k mean not many players have this talent and even won an world cup so yeah it is what it is all i can say he better get his head back in the game

The enigma that is Paul Pogba has played his last ever match against Udinese where he got injured again and that was last season. The 4 year ban could be the end of Paul Pogba as a player.

Not as good as FIFA players think he is. I still wish him well and that he heals from this.

I was at Pogbas last match at Old Trafford, he was booed off the pitch

I’m an Arsenal fan. But Pogba combined everything I love about a midfielder. Tall, Powerful runner, strong in duels, incredible dribbling and flair, ability to play a defence splitting long/short pass & amazing ball striking technique. It’s a shame his actual work ethic wasn’t of the same world class standard as he could’ve been one of THE generation defining talents of his era.

A player a Streets won't forget , but not a Juventus legend

I think that pogbas move to man united in 2016 was the start of his decline because of the state of man u at the time and how his form since then has fallen of a cliff

The United move similar to CR7’s return was completely different to the Fergie days. The defensive tactics at United didn’t help his implementation either when you compare with his role in the national team. Fan and reaction channels boomed at this point so the scrutiny was even worse, the further united reeled. It’s just a shame at Juve he was absolute class. Realistically, he already has a ton of baggage so this will probably be the end of him playing at a high level.

Where is Souness in this?! 😅😂😂

Testing positive for something like this isn't always just clear-cut they took it knowingly. Guys often take normal over the counter stuff that ends uo having something banned in it. At United they never truly had a supporting defensive mid to really unlock his potential where he could sit higher similar to how he did with France. I just think he was always a but misunderstood

Thogden at it again 🔥

Reminds me of Pep Guardiola
