    Was reading this article today:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-35million-Manchester-United-Luka-Modric.html

    Basically intimating that there is a likelihood that Modric will go to Man Utd.

    I actually think this will happen to be fair.

    In addition to this I think other big moves will be:

    -Bale to Barca (£40m)
    -Baines to Man Utd (£20m)
    -Hulk to Chelsea (£35m)
    -Felliani to Chelsea (£20m)

    Do you see any other big money moves happening this summer?

    I have a sneeky feeling that we will see Ba leave but we will get a more out and out class winger in to replace him. TBH, I'd take that if it were offered now.

    Losing a player isn't so bad if he's replaced with a player of the same class or better, but money in the bank isn't going to do us any favours on the pitch. We need bodies to go out and do a job for us.

    Don't see why Man Utd would pay 20m for Baines when they could get someone younger and better for around the same price or cheaper.

    As far as people leaving us is concerned:

    Krul, Colo. No chance, they have both just signed new long term deals and constantly wax lyrical about wanting to stay. Goal keepers tend to be more loyal anyway and with Colo being 30 I can't see clubs coming in with the big bucks.

    Ben Arfa, Cisse. Slight chance IMO but definitely not a great chance, Ben Arfa hasn't had long back from injury and hasn't really lit the premier league up on a regular basis yet due to his easing back into the team, I'm confident Cisse will stay but if someone did decide to chuck a massive offer in Ashley would say yes.

    The high risk guys for me would be Tiote, Cabaye and Ba, especially Ba, he seemed sulky at times last season that Cisse seemed to take him over in being the main man, may want to leave if forced to play on the wing, and with the small fee involved he would be most worrying.

    With Man Utd sniffing around Cabaye I would be worried about him, and just generally got a bad feeling he might be picked up.

    Tiote has consistently been linked with Chelsea and now Abramovich seems to have opened his chequebook they could very well tempt skinny Mike with a big offer.

    All in all I don't think we will lose more than 1 or 2 but I'm scared to who it might be.

    The fact come down to whether they pay the price thats all. My opinion is they will and e will sell them all.

    Do you ever think positive about anything?

    I'm not overly worried. I don't think there will be a mass exodus. I could see Ba going, and it would be a loss, but he's not irreplaceable. I don't personally think Cabaye will end up at Man Utd - not this summer anyway. At the most we will lose a couple but we'll see more coming in. I honestly believe we'll have a much stronger squad next year.

    Staying positive :)
