Yes thanks again.
I’d just hope it’s not a failure on our part (Bodin) not to call him up.
Can only hope he’s called up again soon

Chem Campbell has been on standby plenty of occasions, info is never published by the FAW, last time without double checking was October 2020, at u19 level, 2002 born Was told few weeks ago, just not selected for the u21 squad this international window Current u21 squad have had a long week in camp ahead of Bulgaria next Tuesday So you're confident, based on what your sources tell you, that it's a simple case of him not being picked? If so, that makes no sense at all on our part. I mean, he's 18, extremely highly rated and involved in premier league matchday squads more often than not. You're telling me he's not getting picked in a 23-man squad even at u19 level? I'm sorry, but that's just absurd and I don't buy it for one second. There must be something else at play. It would be nice for someone to ask Bodin about it |

He’s probably just victim of being in the 2002 year group who’ve been shafted by Covid. Hopefully that is the case. There must be some serious talent in that u21 team if he isn’t getting in! He’s never played youth level for England, which must be a decent indication. Especially when you think the likes of Raymond, Mayembe, Abbott and James Sweet have all played for them in the last couple of years, so he’s clearly good enough to have been capped at some level. The Jamaica theory is an interesting one. We’ll find out soon enough if he starts getting some decent minutes for Wolves. |

He MUST be better than some of the U21 players though, that team have looked shocking at times recently.

Wasn't there a post on here, that he was born in Cardiff, and moved to Brum aged five?
Shame, no further interest came from those Dortmund transfer rumblings.

His Wiki says Birmingham born. He’s played for WBA, Birmingham and now Wolves, so Brum definitely his home town. |

If he was available and Bodin did not even pick him for a squad to have a look at him then Bodin is simply not fit to be a coach.
We have full time jobs and are aware of him - Bodin has had poor results and Wales cannot afford to overlook any talent with potential. Our edge over others is making young kids feel part of something / belonging. Unless there is some other reason Chem is being overlooked then Bodin is either lazy, lacks motivation ir us unfit to be a coach and should be moved on.
Do we think we would have Ampadu, Woodburn, Johnson, etc, if we had not recognised their talent and involved them at a young age for their age group?

Is IGH on twitter? Might get more sense out of him than Bodin, on the Chem question.

Reading a few recent comments by some Wolves fans on their forum, and the consensus is that he needs to go out on loan, criticism of him is that he's far to casual on the ball.
Possibly, would look better with better players around him. The jury is still out on him, in their eyes.

It would be nice to have his situation clarified, by someone within the Cymru setups.

Agreed, clearly an area we're so desperately short of talent.

Both him and Hesketh have to be called up in the u21 next squad. If it is Bodin overlooking him, then he should have his head checked. He’s already lucky to be in a job.
I’d go as far as to say, involve Chem in the senior set up for the next camp. Already on the fringes of the Wolves senior side.. He may not get game time for Wales immediately, like many others in the squad, but experience may swing him long term for wales. One thing we so desperately need is a striker with pace who can finish.

One thing we so desperately need is a striker with pace who can finish. Yeah, I agree. They really need to be involved. Hesketh was a he academy player of the year for 20/21. They should get him and maybe a select few others training with the first team. It’s been done before - I’m sure Terry Taylor, George Thomas and a few others trained with the first team before breaking through at club level. |

Does anyone have a clue what is going on?
If Bodin is overlooking him then he should be sacked immediately as he is actually having a negative impact on the team's potential and Wales' future.
I assume he can't be that stupid and that Campbell just isn't interested.
If he isn't interested then I have zero interest in him or what he does in junior football and we should just avoid mentioning him on these message boards

If it was anyone else but Paul Bodin in charge I’d presume the radio silence from everyone in the know as him being uninterested at the moment. However you never know with the current under 21 selections and how bizarre some of
The choices have been

If he isn't interested then I have zero interest in him or what he does in junior football and we should just avoid mentioning him on these message boards Agreed - but until that is confirmed let’s get irrationally optimistic. He’s got pictures of himself receiving his Welsh youth caps on his Instagram a few years ago, he’s never represented England (like Raymond, Abbott etc), so at one stage he was interested. Nice assist by Hesketh for the second goal! If Bodin is just overlooking both of them then that is pretty poor. DS said Chem only made the standby list for the u19’s fairly recently. |

Simply needs to be selected this time. No excuses. Bonkers considering a few of the U21s got dragged up to the seniors after the drop outs. There's certainly a place for Chem in there |

There's certainly a place for Chem in there Agree, it’s rather worrying that we’re willingly risking losing him without calling him up first. Of course we’ll lose some dual-qualified players, but to not even select a bright prospect is concerning. Same can be said of Hesketh and the North of Ireland too. |

Do we know if he is actually any better than the players we did select in his positions for the under 21s?
Genuine question as I’m not sure who’s in instead of him and have only seen clips here in there on YouTube so no idea how good he is.
I remember a few years ago we were critical of the fact that we weren’t picking Mitch Clark of Aston Villa but it looks like that decision may have not have been totally crazy as he didn’t turn out to be as good as we thought he was.
I suppose the fact that he’s dual qualified does change things slightly but on the other hand, should the fact that he’s dual qualified mean that he should be picked ahead of other players.
Again, before anyone shoots me down, I genuinely have no idea whether or not he’s better than the players we did select, I’m just throwing these questions out there.

He's an attacking midfielder/wide forward, so in front of him at the moment we have; Kieron Evans (19) at Cardiff, Rhys Hughes (20) at Everton, Sam Pearson (19) at Bristol City, Dan Williams (20) at Swansea, Siôn Spence (20) at Crystal Palace, Christian Norton (20) at Stoke I'd say Chem seems to be easily around their level if not better. Evans, Norton Pearson and Williams have had *some* senior involvement with their clubs, but then again so has Chem |

Thought Adams was a central midfielder too |
