	Final Football Forums - Sokota To Porto!?
		Sokota foi o segundo melhor marcador do Benfica na última época com 11 golos, menos um do que Simão Sabrosa, mas acabou por ser relegado para a equipa B, onde tem treinado e até participado nos jogos, depois de se ter recusado a negociar o prolongamento do contrato que o ligava aos encarnados.
		A passagem de Sokota pelo Benfica acabaria por ficar marcada pelas lesões que acompanharam o croata praticamente desde o primeiro dia.
		This was the reason why Sokota was demoted to the B team in January.

		From then on Sokota had 2 horrible seasons, in the first (2001/02) he played only on six league games and scored 2 goals, second was a little bit better as the 28-year-old played on 14 league matches and scored 4 goals.
		Last season he made a remarkable score of 11 netted goals and 28 appearances but in this season he was completely forgotten again as he scored 4 goals in 11 league matches out of which in 5 he came on as a substitute.
		Croatian media are reporting that Sokota has better chances to sign for Hertha than for Blackburn but nothing is confirmed yet except that the Croatian who refused to extend his contract with Benfica will leave Portugal.

	Tomislav Sokota signs for FC Porto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The former Dinamo Zagreb goal scorer played 11 league matches this season and scored 4 goals but the only reason was because the Benfica coaching staff knew they couldn't count on him in the future so they didn’t even use him like they did last football year when he scored 11 goals in 29 appearances.
		At Porto, Sokota will have serious competition considering there are five forwards on the payroll already, three of them who can be referred to as very good players.
		The most experienced is Benni McCarthy, who we of course have all heard of, as he was one of the most important Dragons player on their European Conquest when Porto won the Champions League.
