Adams told the CET: We'd been looking around for a keeper for a while and to be honest,it wasn't easy,but when West Ham took Shaka Hislop back,Alan Pardew was happy for Stephen to come here.
"We're pleased to have him.He played in the majority of games last season and he knows what this division is all about so now we've got two decent keepers. That means I'm going to upset somebody but that's football and thats what I'm paid to do.
