On the back of the 'Kyle Walker won't be signing now' comments, I researched if we could sign him, or anyone else in the right circumstances, and apparently we can, ANY time during the season!
Team A decides they want rid of a player to save on wages as he doesn't fit their system any more.
Team B wants the player and are willing to offer a contract.
Team A and the player agree to pay him say £500,000 of a £2,000,000 contract, or even mutually agree to part company, and the player can sign for team B with everything pre-negotiated and in place.
Every day's a school day...well, for me at least!

Under English Football League (EFL) rules, an unattached player (free agent) must have been released by their previous club before the closing of the transfer window in order to register and play for a new club right away. [1, 2]
This specific rule prevents a loophole where a club could buy out or terminate a contracted player's deal after the deadline to immediately send them to another team outside of the official window

What if the player is transferred to a team in Portugal where the window closes on 15th September, the Portuguese team mutually terminate his contract making him a free agent?

They must become a free agent inside a transfer window.
 
Didn't they have the 'deal sheet' in on time?
I read that the delay until the 3rd was because of the extra work required due to the fact he was registered with the Welsh FA?

Let Big Storchey off, because he couldn't see the time on the LCD of the fax machine due to a polarisation conflict caused by his wraparounds.
