Should the transfer window close when the season starts

YES!
The season shouldn’t start until the last weekend in August.
All European leagues (apart from the Summer leagues) should start on that same weekend and there should be a Europe-wide transfer window that closes before that weekend. It should close as many days before (is it three?) that it takes to register a player in time to play the opening fixture.
We start far too early in England. Far too many players/teams have far too little a pre-season or if they do it’s disrupted to fuck by parading them around the world on these shit tours like meat to knobheads who call it ‘soccer’ and call us ‘Mayn Siddy’, all for a bit of cash. The amount of injuries in this sport is contributed to by shit and short pre-seasons and too much travel.
There should be no international breaks, at all really, but realistically, until October and only two rather than this three before Christmas that’s crept in in the last few years.
There should be no Winter break, it’s a daft idea that was never needed in decades gone by. It was just seen as trendy because other leagues do it. Squad sizes these days sees rotation happen so much that players easily get half a dozen breaks a season anyway, unless you’re Rodri. So what’s the point in adding just one more which takes away a fixture?
Then we’d fit all games into the season properly and all transfers can be concluded by the time the season gets underway.
Plus the January Transfer window should be scrapped or make it loans only.

The transfer "window" shouldn't close, period.
Football players should be free to leave Utd at any point of the season.

Make it so that the selling and buying leagues can only do business if their transfer window is identical. Everyone would fall in line within a couple of years, and we could close the window prior to the start of the season finally, and not worry about others poaching players when we can no longer do business.
