Thai soccer officials said Wednesday that Thaksin Shinawatra has arranged trials for three Thai nationals at Manchester City, which the former Thai Prime Minister took full control on Monday. The trio, who will train with Man. City in Manchester next week, are defenders Suree Sukha and Kiatprawut Saiwaeo and striker Teerasil Dangda. Attacking fullback Suree, 24, has been a regular for the national team since 2005, while Kiatprawut, 21, and the 19-year-old Teerasil made their senior national team debuts at the Asian Cup earlier this month, where co-hosts Thailand failed to advance from the group stage. Thaksin, giving out 81 million pounds (about 163.8 million US dollars) in taking over Man. City, secured 75 percent of the club's shares on Monday to take total control of the struggling side, whose last major success was 31 years ago when they won the League Cup.
