Would gabby make an impact at CL? Have to say i dont really watch alot its boring in my view. I think Cuellar, A Young Ireland, Albrighton (on current form) and Carew (when he feels like it) are all good enough for the champions league

Cuellar, Friedel, Ashley. Maybe Ireland.

That's it.

In addition to the above, I think Downing is good enough to play CL football. He's certainly a good player, but I think he's also smart enough tactically.

Most of the first team are, but they lack a world class MF and striker ... and that makes the difference.
Thr point being: they need to qualify to attract the players that would make the difference. Like Spurrrrrrrrrs and VdV

My sentiments exactly.  11 players capable of playing champions league football doesn't guarantee champions league football.  Just look at Citeh.

I'd much rather we became one cohesive unit with good players, and the odd great one, capable of beating anyone on their day.

 Ashley, Downing, Gabby, Delph, Dunne, Ireland, probably Warnock and Heskey as well, are easily good enough to play in the CL, not to win it certainly.,

Glasgow Rangers are in the Champions League and currently doing very well.

With the right organisation and tactical nouse, I don't see why any of our players should look blatantly out of place with most of the teams who are competing in it.

Obviously, Barca, Inter Milan and the like are a different kettle of fish.
