I can understand not signing a striker in this window when looking at the big picture, but we really are just crossing our fingers and hoping Vipotnik doesn't get injured until Idah is back (March?), and that's not a reassuring scenario to be in.

Yeah, it’s one of those that might work out fine but there’s always that risk in the background. That’s why Bobby Wales going may not be the best move. If the loan is to give him first team minutes ready for next season, why not test him as second striker over this period? I get that he’d just be shelved as soon as Idah comes back but that would only be for the last few games of the season.
 
Huddersfield are apparently also going for Hardie from Wrexham, competing against Bolton. Hopefully if they sign both that doesn't mean Wales substitutes the Swansea bench for the Huddersfield bench.
