Helmes: Future plans remain unclear
HELMES UNCERTAIN OVER FUTURE

Wolfsburg striker Patrick Helmes admits he does not know where his future lies despite firing his club to victory over Cologne yesterday in their Bundesliga opener.
The former Germany international has been linked with a move away from the 2009 league champions as they attempt to bring in Freiburg's Papiss Demba Cisse.
And Helmes is aware not even Saturday's double may be enough to convince coach Felix Magath to change his mind.
"We have won 3-0, I have scored two goals and the rest is up to the coach," he said.
"Normally for this I would have a guaranteed starting berth, but what is normal?
"I was being written off before the season started and every other day, I am supposed to be sold.
"For as long as it is only gossip and nobody comes to tell me it, then it doesn't interest me much."
However, Wolfsburg's bid for Cisse, who scored in Freiburg's 2-2 draw against Augsburg yesterday, appears to be taking shape.
"I have not yet spoken to Mr Magath, but my agent is doing that at the moment," the Senegal international told ZDF television.
"People are working on it and we will just have to wait and see."
Cisse, who was the Bundesliga's second-highest scorer last season behind Bayern Munich's Mario Gomez, is Magath's prime target to complete his attack this summer.

Sneijder: Linked with both Manchester clubs
SNEIJDER ADMITS HE'S FOR SALE

Wesley Sneijder has broken his silence on the speculation on his future and admitted he is "for sale if the right offer comes in" as Inter Milan "need money".
Sneijder has been strongly linked with Manchester United all summer, while Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Saturday that City had struck a 36m euro deal for the the Dutch midfielder.
Speaking after the Community Shield, City boss Roberto Mancini dismissed the claim and insisted he has not been in contact with his former club, while Inter's current coach said Sneijder's future would be discussed next week.
The former Ajax and Real Madrid midfielder, who scored in the opening goal in Inter's 2-1 Super Cup defeat to Milan on Saturday, will travel to the UK for Holland's friendly at Wembley in midweek.
He told Voetbal International: "All I know is that Inter need money and that I'm for sale if the right offer comes in.
"I have five days off after the international friendly against England on Wednesday. I expect clarity on my future by then.
"I can be very brief about the interest from Manchester United and City: I haven't spoken with either of those two clubs, so I can't really say much about my future at the moment."
Speaking after his side's 3-2 defeat by United at Wembley, Mancini had said of City's reported interest: "It is not true. He is an Inter Milan player. We never spoke about him."
