Is there any industry in the world where people are bought and sold for their skills and contracts can mean fuck all if a company decided your an sellable asset only.Is there another industry outside of sport, that is only allowed to trade twice a year during specific dates…Madness!
If football employment ran like any other business there wouldn't be transfers at all, there would be employees seeing out a contract or being released or fired depending on circumstance and then finding a new employer.

Yes. Strawberry picking. Golf. Entertainment.
Lots of industries have seasonal hiring. It is logical. As it is with football, given the types and lengths of competitions.

Nowhere near enough of a summer break for that to be viable. Most top players have played football this summer, they aren't getting involved in a transfer whilst they're playing so they've have had 3/4 weeks to have a holiday and sort out a move.
Personally I'd get rid of the window entirely, say everybody is free to sign players at any point but they have to wait until the 1st of the following month to be eligible to play.

Go back to how it was. It closes a few weeks before the season ends then opens again when it’s the summer break (remember them?).
Open all year long. Stop this silly last day fucking madness that only the sports media like
