This friendship argument is largely exagerated. Luka will have plenty of friends at the club and probably across Europe too. He doesn't need his fellow countrymen to hold his hands. I doubt if those 2 leave it would change things with Luka. If hew wants to leave it will be for football or money reasons.
I think that's probably the case now but when Modric first joined he said something about how he'd always wanted to play for a big team alongside Corluka. I don't think either of them were particularly close to Kranjcar though, though I'm sure that's no longer the case.
If Modric leaves it will be for a number of reasons, but ultimately I can't begrudge him wanting to have a varied career by experiencing different teams and different leagues. It's not as if he'd be jumping ship after a year. Anyway enough off topicness from me...
