Adam: I'm at Liverpool to win trophies

New signing Charlie Adam is keen to help bring trophies back to Anfield after finally completing his move to Liverpool.

The 25-year-old was a transfer target of Kenny Dalglish almost from the moment he took over from Roy Hodgson in early January.
After two failed bids in that window the Reds returned with a slightly improved offer earlier this week - believed to be around £7million with possible add-ons - and after his medical was completed without any problems Adam was able to sign a long-term contract.
With the paperwork out of the way the Scotland international is keen to get into pre-season training and start looking at how he can help contribute to the team winning the silverware they have been without since the 2006 FA Cup.
"I am absolutely delighted to be here," he said.
"It has been a long process but now I can't wait to get started and hopefully this will be a successful period in my career and in the club's history.
"I see this as the perfect development for me to come here, play with such wonderful players and hopefully help the team to win trophies, because that's the most important thing.
"I'm delighted to be able to walk out on the same pitch as some of the players here.
"There are good players at the club, top, top players who I want to learn from.
"I want to become a better player and hopefully bring something to the team.
"Hopefully we can have a successful period because it's been missing now for a couple of years.
"At the end of the day you get judged on trophies and as a footballer you want to win as many as you can.
"This club has had a lot of success over the years, so let's get back to doing that."
The role of Dalglish in securing the signature of his fellow Scot cannot be underestimated.
He identified Adam very early on as a player he wanted and even drove the midfielder into the club's Melwood training ground for his medical.
Dalglish's influence was marked when he took charge in January, turning performances and results around, and that did not go unnoticed by Adam.
"Liverpool is a massive club with terrific players and a terrific manager," he added.
"You have seen since the new manager came in the forward strides that have been made.
"Kenny has a terrific respect from players and people in the game.
"He is a wonderful manager and it's an honour to be able to say I'm going to be able to play for Liverpool.
"I tasted Anfield last year, scoring here (in the Seasiders' 2-1 win) was an unbelievable feeling and hopefully I've got many more days like that as a Liverpool player."
Liverpool's director of football Damien Comolli conducted the negotiations with Blackpool to secure Adam's transfer after Dalglish made him a primary target.
And the Frenchman believes the midfielder can build on the form he showed in his maiden Barclays Premier League campaign.
"It's been a long chase since the end of January but we've always kept our interest because we knew he was a quality player," said Comolli.
"We knew he was very keen on coming here and for Kenny he was a priority and we've done everything we could to get him.
"He's got the power, the strength, the stamina, and then technically he's got an absolutely fantastic left foot.
"He's going to bring a lot to us in the run of play but also with set-plays.
"He's a complete package of a very modern midfield player who can do several things on the pitch - and he brings this left foot that we didn't have in midfield until now.
"I think he can improve because with age comes experience.
"He had the first year in the Premier League, and with more experience he's going to understand the game in the Premier League more.
"Also, training on a daily basis with the quality of player we have here will stretch him as a player - physically, mentally and tactically.
"Training with the best helps you to become better and I think that's what we're going to see."
