"I spoke with Robert Green on the phone and I was very happy with what I heard," said Grant.

"I spoke only about the future and what will happen. He looks very strong and very intelligent.

"I don't think it will have an effect on him. I can give examples, I was at the World Cup in 2002 and I saw the goalkeeper [Oliver Kahn] who didn't stop a ball that my daughter could stop.

"They lost the World Cup and after this he was still the best goalkeeper in Germany.

"I saw on the television this year Casillas, the best goalkeeper in the world in my opinion, concede a goal and everyone said it was his fault or the fault of his girlfriend or mother or whatever. He was the best player in his last three games.

"This is the life of a goalkeeper.

"For me Robert Green is a great goalkeeper, I watched him in the last year and I'm looking forward to seeing him in the first training."

Grant was also hopeful of his new club’s chances of hanging onto captain Scott Parker amid interest from the Hammers' Premier League rivals.

"With the targets of the club, it is very important that we have good experienced players and there is no doubt that Scott Parker is one of them," he added.

"I watched him last year and DVDs of all the games last year and even though I don't want to look back, I only want to look forward, I can tell you that Scott Parker is very important for us. He is a good football player and has quality."
