Define cheap?
Most of the players listed in here are players coming of the back of brilliant seasons in league 1 or 2 or free transfers released from premiership clubs.
Take Jerry Yates at Blackpool as an example. Could have had him for a couple of 100k a year ago. Now, after last season, Blackpool will want big money, same for clarke harris. Cheap they ain't.
As for some of the premier league's released lists. Wages, wages, wages.
Not aimed at you at all mate,but have we learnt nothing as fans from our transfer dealings in the last 4 years or so? Buying players, often player of the season, at at the very height of their value, chucking big wages as previous prem players, signing for top wedge a lad who has scored a few in lower leagues.
Seems some are content to make the same mistakes again and again.
Let's take our time and get it right for once.

He’s got a wand of a left foot.

Here goes.
I think it's time to draw a line under last season, and get behind Rooney giving him a break for next season. Put your pitchforks down, give me a chance before you smash the keyboard.
I'm not suggesting giving him a free pass for what was a poor end to the season, but we can't dwell on the past and must understand the position we are in financially, even if you cannot get on board with the hand Rooney was dealt with was not the greatest, look at it from the financial point of view.
Rooney walks? Entirely different situation, if he receives the assurances that he can bring players in and compete, I just don't see him walking, I wouldn't be surprised if he's not fired up even more to prove himself. 
Sack him? Now this is the question, how much will that cost, can we afford it?
The reply to that will be, but we can't afford to drop into League 1, no we can't, but with a summer of recruitments using his contacts is a risk worth willing to take in my opinion, even if you give him until October to not have us in any kind of relegation battle.
Things don't work out, we may at least have some decent players at the club to work with. Lampard with Tomori, Mount and Wilson for example to then bring in an experienced disaster fighter to keep us up.
Would you give Rooney a couple of months in exchange for extra funds to purchase a player or two than showing him the door now?
What even are the expectations for next season? Please don't tell me we have any fans sat here thinking top 6 minimum, in my mind a 10th to 16th unspectacular season would be acceptable as a building block. 
Is Rooney capable of that? I don't see why not, let's not forget the weeks we were up there with the best in the form table before Bielik got injured, now if he has the players, the squad, I don't see that as being a totally unrealistic target. 
What Cocu would have done with Bielik and CKR for that matter is irrelevant now, we'll never know.
Fans will hopefully be back next season, let's not walk into the opening game with a toxic atmosphere booing and calling for the blokes head, look at the scenes outside Pride Park pre Sheffield Wednesday game, the players didn't deserve any of that really, but right now we need to play our part however hard that maybe for some of you. 
There is a huge negative cloud above this club right now, I just feel that by adding to that with weekly demands for Rooney's head will offer nothing positive to the current situation we find ourselves in.
Give him a chance, couple of months that's all. Regardless of who the owner is, I don't see him being afford much longer than that if we look to be heading into trouble once again.
 

Anyone not in league 1 team of the year you think we should sign? (Good suggestions though)

Get him the finest physiotherapist money can buy, get him an oxygen tent if needed. Keep him fit and getting fitter each week and he could be key.

Has all the hallmarks of a 3 manager season this.
If they dont get a new manager bounce how long will the owner hold his bottle for.
A couple of wins here and there and safe in mid table with a possible late season push. Will that be good enough?
What if their current form continues? Only the odd win in 4 or 5? Gone by xmas.
Sounds silly to say it, but for the more sensible forest fans I do feel a bit sorry for them.

I doubt any new arrival will be given the chance to be an improvement. 

Struggling again. Anxiety taking over. Self confidence at an all time low. Strange isn't it how people can tell you every day how valued you are and how good you are, but I just can't take it as praise. Have to turn it into a negative.
Feeling I have to hide it from SLT at work is horrible too.
Teaching is hard enough, without having this mental monkey on my back every minute. So very tiring.
Just when you think its gone it comes back bigger than ever.
Shakes, nerves, nausea, headaches. Just getting to the end of the day, end of the week, end of the term, end of the year.

Ah. Ton Ton.
Anyone who says they like management games if they have never heard of this guy I don't listen to them.

Who do you think will be "seen at moor farm" from the Twitter brigade today then?

Fulhams boards last night had the making a bid for a man city kid from their ITK posters.

I'm waiting for some laughable African nations suggestions without any research for this thread. I feel let down that someone hasn't suggested a player without realising he plays for inter Milan or just signed for a Chinese club for £50mill.
the big lad up front for Gabon looks like he could do a job as back up for nugent....

Ali Dia, free agent, played in the Prem, his cousin is George Weah, might be worth a look

Spot on.
smac "we are desperate for a midfielder"
any club in the championship "that's 10mill please"

Some realistic suggestions for us to sign this January:
Iheanacho- not going to play much for City with the arrival of Gabriel Jesus. Could definitely play the super sub for role for us if when Nugent gets tired in games.
Ben Davies- Not really playing for Spurs because of the brilliant form of Danny Rose. We are arguably just as big as Spurs so we will definitely be able to attract a player of this calibure.
Cesc Fabregas- why not? We could go in for a cheeky loan bid because he is behind Matic and Kante in the Chelsea pecking order. Him and Hughes would run the show in the championship.
Robert Snodgrass- Hull are a much smaller much than Derby and are in disarray at the moment behind the scenes. We have lots of  Scottish players in the squad so it would be an easy transition for him and he would fill the left wing spot.
Benteke- clearly isn't happy at Palace and it's well documented that Big Sam wants him out. He could easily fit into the Chris Martin role.
Daniel Sturridge- Not getting much football at Liverpool at the moment and is clearly in need of first team action. I think it would be an honour for him to come here to work under the former England manager and to get a word of wisdom from Darren Bent
James Rodriguez- world class player and isn't getting much action at Real Madrid. This may seem a bit ambitious and according to my calculations this only has a 5/10 chance of happening. However, he is being linked with a move to China which is a much lower standard than the championship so why not? If I was Mel I'd break the bank to get him and it would help the Derby County merchandise and global support throughout South America which can only be a good thing. We'd make all the money back from shirt sales with a little help from Niall Horan who could persuade one direction fans to buy the shirts. The only doubt over this player is whether he fulfils the Johnny Russell role? Sure he is a good player but if he isn't motivated to run back and defend then I wouldn't sign him.

I'm pretty confident in saying none of those  players would come to us.
