Yes. And you did. A hotly contested contract I might add, but still a contract. Yet to be tested in court.
But even if you tested that contract in court and won there is no way you could have got his registration without Lyn's forgery. Unless you can read those fifa transfer regulations and come up with something better than sending in a request to the Norwegian FA for Mikel's ITC and hope they don't reply in 30 days as Hairdryer did.
Chelsea paid you to secure his registration. But for Lyn's forgery, his registration was never United's to sell. At best you had a worthless contract with Mikel. It was worthless because you couldn't get his registration without Lyn's forged contract - unless you sent in your request for an ITC to the Norwegian FA and they didn't reply in 30 days, of course.
