Which Premier League footballers are in need of a buddy?

|

Premier League footballers might have all the money in the world but something a fair few of them are short of is a buddy; someone to help them when they need it and come to their aid in their hour of need. That’s exactly what Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has needed recently with his barren spell in front of goal. Until his goal against Blackburn Rovers at the weekend, he has looked a lonely and disconsolate figure up front with Liverpool struggling to provide him with any decent service or assistance. The striker isn’t the only footballer however who could do with a buddy.

Bad tackles have been one of the hottest topics in the Premier League this season and combative Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong isn’t winning any friends. After the Netherlands international karate kicked Spain’s Xabi Alonso in the 2010 World Cup final, the Dutchman has followed that up with some tasty tackles in the Premier League, with one resulting in Newcastle’s Hatem Ben Arfa breaking his leg. Experienced Fulham footballer Danny Murphy has spoken out about bad tackles, but this only resulted in him getting on the wrong side of Blackburn gaffer Sam Allardyce and a couple of other Premier League managers.

Two people who couldn’t find a buddy whichever way they turned were former Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett. The Americans really got on the wrong side of the Anfield faithful, something that wasn’t helped by them allegedly making comments that the Liverpool fans were ‘a noise they were dealing with’. What Hicks and Gillett were in desperate need of was a buddy to tell them what idiots they had been during their three years owning Liverpool FC.
