You're the deluded one. Every MU fan in here keeps bringing up the so called contract like it's an answer to every problem.

Player contracts are quite essential in professional football, don't you think?

The circumstances under which Mikel was pressured to sign it are more than questionable.

Was he pressured?

Why did he approach United and tell them he wanted to sign?

Does the photos from the signing show a player that was pressured to do something he didn't want to, or did they appear to be of a player who was delighted to have signed for possible the biggest club in the world?


Even if United weren't aware of Andersen's forgery they certainly knew something wasn't right but they took a chance anyway.

How were they supposed to know something wasn't right?

They certainly knew of Chelsea involvement in bringing Mikel to Lyn and providing for him

Which was illegal. Good case that, hopefully your club will put this forward in a court case...

and certainly were aware of his agent not being present and his family in Nigeria not being notified.

The very agent he told plenty of people he was glad to be rid of?

Why should a player's family be notified?

Truth is,if you did approach Mikel as a free agent he'd contact his agent Shittu, Chelsea would step in and that would be the end of it.

Again, Chelsea could have done nothing if the player wanted to go to United. Which he presumingly did at the time, considering he signed for them.


So Andersen, unhappy about not getting anything from Chelsea end in the arrangement that was in place and knowing of MU's interest, contacts United and offers them a way to sign Mikel without Chelsea's and Shittu's knowledge. They are more than happy to oblige but don't realize that the cunt forged the contract to get the deal done.

That seems to be true.

It doesn't help Chelsea's case to get the settlement cancelled though, seeing as they had no rights to the player whatsoever.
