Saints are being linked with a move for Yohan Cabaye in January, but are they going for the right man ?
The media are suggesting that Crystal Palace are willing to sell Yohan Cabaye in January with Saints being named as being interested in buying the French International.
But the reason that the Eagles are willing to sell is that they are looking to raise funds to bid for Ex Saints midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin.
So if Saints where to go for Cabaye then they could kick star a chain of events that could see Schneiderlin end up in South London.
But it is fair to say that many Saints fans would prefer to see the club bid for Schneiderlin rather than Cabaye, that is probably based on the thought that it is better the devil you know rather than the one that says you should never go back.
The other question is whether Schneiderlin would want to return to St Mary's, although he did leave in good standing, perhaps he himself would see it as a failure if he returned to his former club.
Although Palace would be interested due to Alan Pardew managing Schneiderlin during his time as Saints manager, that could also be said of Ronald Koeman and Everton will also be a club linked as the transfer rumour mill starts to hot up in the coming weeks.
That in itself could see Koeman turn to Jordy Clasie if he fails to land Schneiderlin and if Saints were to be successful in signing either Schneiderlin or Cabaye then they would probably look to offload a central midfielder to not only help fund the purchase but due to the fact they would be top heavy in this department.
But who would Saints fans prefer to go for in the January window ? or would they prefer to keep what we have ?
