They can't terminate their contracts and sign elsewhere outside of a transfer window. They'd have to get released before the end of the window. I don't see how this benefits anyone but there we go.

Blimey, that's even worse. So they're basically shafted until January?

Yup, it's mad. Just like FIFA counting playing for Newcastle U23s was a "competitive fixture" and thus banning Ben Arfa from playing for 3 clubs in a year. Sometimes you just think they enforce these rules so they look like they're doing something.
