Albion star backs Ferguson move
Albion midfielder James Morrison believes international team-mate Barry Ferguson would be "a great asset" if he was lured to the Hawthorns.
Morrison reckons Ferguson's experience could be a vital extra ingredient in the club's Championship campaign.
Albion have sounded out the former Scotland captain Ferguson over a possible move to England, with the Rangers midfielder thought to be keen on the prospect of a Championship promotion campaign.
Now Morrison, who played alongside Ferguson for Scotland, has backed any prospective move.
The Baggies star said: "Barry is obviously a top player and has been for years. With his experience, he would be, if he signed, a great asset.
"That is what we have been lacking, a real leader. I think experience is the key for us.
"I think the fans would certainly be excited if he was to sign, given the events of the past week."
Sources in Scotland suggest the £1million-rated Ferguson watched Albion's defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, after his advisors were sounded out about his availability.
The former Blackburn midfielder's Ibrox career is effectively over, after the controversial late night drinking session with Gers team mate Allan McGregor while on international duty.
