Wasn’t sure where to stick this, but as per the thread title he’s failed a random drug test.


Looks like Jose was right about this guy all along wasn’t he. He’s a bad apple.

Wasn't sure if I was more shocked by the allegation or the fact that he's now 30 - making me feel very old.

Did Ndombele get banned for doping? And Pogba has reached serious heights in his career, winning the World Cup no less. I find that Ndombele mark II label strange for a few reasons.
It's the wasted talent and attitude I was referring to mate

You can see why I got confused when you comment on a doping article..

And if anything shouldn't Ndombele be labelled as Pogba mark II and not the other way round since Pogba came before him?

Whatever, the point is both are extremely talented, but both have not achieved all that they could have. As far as WC winner goes he was part of a brilliant team and as far as my memory goes didn't have a particularly great tournament

One or two days a season doesn't make him a good player.
He was definitely a good player during his first stint with Juve ( Uefa team of the year etc) his attitude and application post Juve stopped him from becoming a great player.

Pogba had everything in his game from a technical standpoint - as we know you cannot move up a level without the attitude and application which he was lacking.

When he had Pirlo next to him for guidance they formed a formidable partnership and he seemed to have his head screwed on properly. Seems like it went downhill after he returned to United.

There's a reason Fergie let this lad go despite his potential. It didn't matter how good you were, ol' red nose didn't fuck about if a player didn't fit. Jose saw it straight away as well.

He was only good because of the players around him in that team.
