Can Youga be brought back?

One of Charlton's greatest challenges at the moment is the left-bank position. Sir Chris Powell is out for a few weeks and was being asked to do too much anyway. Thatcher has just had another op on his knee and will doubtless spend more time on the dreaded Sparrows Lane treatment table. A lot of the Addickted favour bringing in Grant Basey to start, but in my view that is a high risk option.

Kelly Youga has been filling the position in the Championship at Scunthorpe. Could he be brought back to The Valley? Only someone like Peter Varney or one of his acolytes could give an authoritative 'urbis et orbe' pronouncement. But the Scunthorpe site and a Sky Story suggest that Youga is on a 'long-term' loan that cannot be ended before 6 January 2008. Close, but no cigar.
