Derby County have been one of the real success stories of the Championship this season, and a big reason behind that has been the performances of midfielder Craig Bryson. Its fair to say that he currently plays as a more orthodox midfielder but with his ability to score and create, Lambert could certainly look at using him as an attacking midfielder. The Scottish midfielder has been playing in English football since 2011, and at 27 years of age and with two caps for Scotland may feel its time to test himself in the Premier League. Its fair to say he would probably be most comfortable working under a Scottish manager such as Lambert. The player has proved this season that he has the perfect blend between an ability to score goals as well as creating them. This form has represented itself this season with 11 goals and seven assists from his 24 appearances; hes fairly efficient with his quality as well with 1.8 shots and 1.2 key passes per match as well as an average rating of 7.38. So, do any of these attacking midfielders have the ability to strengthen Aston Villas squad?
