To be fair - I bought Portocarrero at 13/10/2010, Kun at 01/11/2010, Arentschildt at 07/11/2010, the game was at 01/12/2010 and final is at 08/12/2010. Last player I bought 24 days before semifinal and 31 days before final.
As it was said, the rules allows any transfers. As long as rules are not changed there always be such transfers.
How to change rules?
1) don't allow to use money from bids before deadline (I see this as global problem, not only B3 teams)
2) don't allow to use player in B3 some time after the transfer (f.e. week, month or more?)
3) register players for B3 at the start of the season and don't allow to play bought player after that

Seems a bit unfair to the smaller countries, who have no need to run a roster as good as the bigger countries, except for b3. So you are effectively punishing them in a sense by making them keep rosters that are too good for their league (unneeded), and causing them to spend money they perhaps shouldnt.

Of course the flip side is the current situation disadvantages big country teams, and perhaps it does, since they dont have the money to grab the end of tournament monster.

Need to find some middle ground, and I dont really know that this is it. If it is, the time limit surely isnt a month, but less, like 2 weeks.

Its just you close a lot of doors with what you propose. Someone now would have to sell any player to make money somehow before the season, so he can have the money and get the player before the season. People who suffer injuries are now 100% out because they cant pick up a player to replace them with. Someone gets a bad draw on the road, and cant add a player to overcome that. I mean, basically the sob list is endlist with a proposed change to stop when you can add players.

Maybe you could put a limit on it, but it would need to be very late, like, the final 8 or so. Still would be pretty terrible to make it to the finals, only to have a guy injured, have 4m in the bank you could replace him with, but not be allowed to do it.
