James Morrison admits talking up West Bromwich Albion to Scotland teammate Darren Fletcher.
Fletcher left Manchester United for West Brom last month.
"Darren was at one of the best clubs in the world so it was a big coup for West Brom to get him," admitted Morrison to the Daily Mail.
"It shows Darren just wanted to play football, although there were family reasons as well and stuff like that.
"I've known him for a long time and I know what he's all about. When I heard there was a chance of him coming, I was on the phone to him, trying to get him here. I want to play with good players and Darren is certainly that.
"How did I sell the club? I had my ways! I just said it was a real family club with great support. Basically it was all about the lads here and I knew he would fit in right away and he has.
"He's enjoying it, he told me that himself. I knew he would like the manager and he's played a big part in it for Darren, too. Tony has done a great job so far."
