I see he came on again for 20 minutes at the weekend. Must be doing something right. A mid table Chs'p side or possibly top 6 side would have come on for him over the summer, if he is as talented as some people make him out to be. |

Also, from what I understands he's turned down a few u21 callups now - he doesn't want to play for Wales - simples.

On today for Wolves. Maybe he's in the 56 and making a late run for the World Cup 😉

Also, from what I understands he's turned down a few u21 callups now - he doesn't want to play for Wales - simples. I don't think it's as simple as that. However, until he gets regular senior football I don't think we're really missing out on anything here. He seems content being a substitute when really he should have a lot more senior games under his belt if he wants to be a Premier League player. I think he'll end up being 23/24 and being sold to a League One club |

After all this talk, we'll finally get to see whether he can make an impact at senior level

Maybe he's not as good as we all thought after all.......

He's only 20. Bit too early to write him off! Let's see what he can do first

Post by dai on Jan 31, 2023 9:37:07 GMT
Not writing him off! But this is a bit of a reality check as to how good he is.
Anyway, he's not interested in playing for Wales so I'm not sure why we keep bumping his thread......

He's been talked about on here since 2019 and has done nothing of note since this thread was started.
I'm inclined to think he isn't going to be a top player, nor one for us after refusing u21 caps.

Ironically exposure with Wales could perhaps help him develop his career
We will never know if its Bodin's or his fault that he bailed out of the Welsh setup, however as time passes by it does seem he has little interest in us and his connection to us must be weak, so if that is the case then I agree leave it and he can come knocking on our door if he ever wants to come back.
He will probably end up in the lower leagues, maybe Championship maybe not. At 20 if you are an attacking player with pace and you are exceptional you would have gotten a chance at Wolves by now.

Personally, and I might be unfair here, but I can't see myself getting excited about him. As I see it, there's a chance he might begrudgingly accept a call-up if he doesn't get a look-in with England, but he doesn't strike me as someone who will really buy into the Welsh project and, in that instance, even if he becomes a semi-decent premier league player, he would probably do more harm than good. I'm probably saying all this way too early and based on far too little information, but that's the impression I get.

Yeah I’m of a similar mindset. Just can’t see him committing to us. I hope that all eligible players do, but just can’t picture Chem doing so.

Post by iot on Feb 15, 2023 14:51:49 GMT
I can see him 'committing' to us in the loose sense of registering with us if he's not good enough for England, but I can't see him actually committing to us in the true sense of the term.

At the end of the day we’ve all speculated with Chem. I myself was questioning if they’d found out he wasn’t eligible like Wildig as his place of birth changed from Cardiff on all football related websites. Clearly he’s eligible and something (bodin?) rubbed him the wrong way. Jordan James , Chem and Luke Harris all pulled out of a squad that Bodin named. Despite this no one questions James commitment.
To Summarise Chem might simply think Bodin is a tool and he might be fully committed and ready to play for us. We don’t know yet. We’ve also had other players in the past such as Lloyd Isgrove refuse to play for the under 21s anymore and go on to win senior caps despite not being an exceptional talent

You're missing some key facts there, and got others wrong. James went away to England for one window and then came back, same as Ampadu and one or two others. Luke Harris never pulled out of a squad that Bodin named. Chem Campbell refused a call-up from Matty Jones after Bodin left, citing that he wanted to focus on Wolves, so there's clearly a lack of commitment on his end that can't be pegged solely on Bodin (much as you'd like to try).
I don't think Bodin did a particularly good job, some of the results and performances were terrible, but too many people have just made this whole thing up that we've lost a lot of duel qualified youngsters because of him, based on complete speculation for the most part. Poor bloke is still getting crap for that penalty miss, and is unfairly getting maligned with this stuff now to boot!

Well all I can say is my bad. Perhaps a lot of Mandela effect. Also straight away I’ll admit I was wrong to put Harris there I meant Spence not Harris. But I seem to remember Bodin being interviewed and individually being asked about James, Spence and Chem and he had to explain one by one why they weren’t available. I’m not pegging Chems unavailability purely on Bodin but it’s fair to say he wasn’t exactly desperate to play for him was he? That’s what I was basing my pulled out comment on. Those 3 players made themselves unavailable for a call up to a specific match.

Post by iot on Feb 15, 2023 15:50:50 GMT
Yeah, I think Bodin mentioned a couple of years back that he had been up to watch Chem alongside a couple of other Welsh-qualified Wolves youngsters, and chose not to select him. So he may have pissed him off. But I don't think it matters. Fact is, he's turned us down after Matty Jones came in. If his attitude is so poor that he's still pissed off by the snub from a previous youth coach, he clearly isn't very committed and unlikely to buy in or just has a very poor attitude, which makes me think he wouldn't be a good fit for us irrespective of his talent - as I say, he'd very likely do more harm than good. Strong parallels with Dummet imo.

Not sure about the England talk was us or Jamaica wasn't it. He's never actually said he doesn't wish to be selected for us in future. He can't be to happy with Wolves and now Wycombe having him down as a Welsh player....

Will soon find out if it's as you were... or a U21 call up for the friendlies (and training camp in Spain) or a senior squad call up

There's a lot of talk about Chem for someone who has showed nothing at senior level yet. It was exciting seeing a Welsh youngster on the bench for high flying Wolves, but the reality is he was never good enough to break into their team, even when they've started to struggle
He's now 20 with no senior football under his belt. He could still go on to improve quite quickly, but he'll be 24 by the time he gets as many senior games as Ampadu currently has, and Ampadu is someone who we've bemoaned for lack of games
If it turns out he's class then we can worry about whether he will represent us. As it stands, there is no suggestion he's going to be good enough to represent anyone at international level

Oli Cooper is 23 and didn't make any sort of splash before age of 22 - players can rapidly improve when put in right circumstances.
Nationality is becoming more and more complex. I don't know Chem's story so won't use him as an example, but I think that basic fact is something we'll have to get used to and do everything we can to ensure dual+ national players fall in love with our country.
Chem did well in his first start at Wycombe which is a good sign.
