Jaap Stam revealed during his first press conference as an AC Milan player
that Roberto Mancini tried to convince him last season to join Inter.

"Mancini spoke about Inter all the time last year but as soon as I heard
that the rossoneri wanted me I knew where I wanted to go," the Dutch
defender said. "I have won the league in every country that I have played in
so the scudetto is a priority for me even though I have my head set on all
competitions".

"I chose AC Milan because they are the best team in Italy and probably the
world," he added. "I want to win a lot, everything possibly, so I think that
I am in the right place to do so".

"At first when I was discussing the deal I intended to sign a one year
contract but I changed my mind because I wanted to show Milan my gratitude,"
Stam went on. "I will be a rossonero for the next two years and then we'll
meet again and see what is best for everybody".

I thought only fans were glory-hunters, footballers usually want to be
winners, so it seem normal to me that he's picked a team where he's got
a good chance of winning

It should be the aim of every player to play for Milan and Real Madrid.

Only players who don't want to battle and work hard.

Yes, damn him for wanting to win. Veteran world class defenders are not allowed
such rights.

You don't really believe that non-sense. What a load of crap. Let me
guess, you support Milan?

No damn him for wanting to play for Milan, because he thinks they are
going to win, without even a game being played yet.

Actually I do believe it. Milan and Real Madrid are the best teams in
the history of European football. Playing for any other club, regardless
of how many shirts they sell, doesn't have anywhere near that level of
prestige.

His options were Milan, Inter and Juventus, he didn't want to leave
Italy. He made the right choice.

Whatever, I made my comment towards Stam and him opening his mouth.
Nothing is gauranteed. I'm sure Beckam had the same thoughts going
through his head when he joined Real, and guess what? Real didn't win
jack.Unfortunately, when players join teams, because they think they'll
win something, the exact opposite will happen.I hope that's the case
here.

Cheers

He made a choice. If its right, will be determined, at the end of the
season...until then, its an opinion.

So Benny, which one will they win? The CL or the scudetto, I don't think
it will be both.

Well then damn him if he would have went to any other club as well, as most
seasons haven't started yet. Damn him for rightly expecting to win at Milan,
what an arrogant bastard to think that his team is going to win, after such a
poor Serie A campaign.
