Jose: No chance of picking up pair
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho believes he has 'no chance' of signing Emmanuel Adebayor from Manchester City or Didier Drogba from Chelsea.[LNB] The former Inter Milan and Chelsea manager has been linked with a number of high-profile names since taking the helm at the Bernabeu earlier this year, including star striker Adebayor, who was an unused substitute in Monday's 3-0 league victory over Liverpool. [LNB]However, speaking exclusively to Sky Sports News HD, the Portuguese boss admitted City's powerful financial position would make it near impossible to prise the 26-year-old away from Eastlands. [LNB]When asked about the possibility of signing the Togolese forward, Mourinho said: "I think no chance.[LNB]"The historical dimension of Real Madrid and Manchester City you can't compare. But the economical dimension you can compare. [LNB]"And maybe they will win (the Premier League). [LNB]"So I think at the minute Man City is the club to keep their best players and to buy the players that nobody expects them to buy. [LNB]"I don't think, just one year after buying Emmanuel from Arsenal, he's the player to leave."[LNB]Chelsea ace Didier Drogba is another striking star to be linked with a move to the Primera Liga giants, but Mourinho believes acquiring his signature is an equally unlikely prospect, adding: "Again, no chance."[LNB]Mourinho admits City are "dominant in the market" after outbidding the Spanish giants to sign Serbia full-back Aleksander Kolarov.[LNB]Kolarov joined City last month for £16million as part of another remarkable summer of team strengthening which has seen their Middle East owners plough more than £100m into the club.[LNB]And Mourinho, who joined Madrid after leading Inter Milan to a domestic and European treble last season, concedes even they can't compete.[LNB]"I understand that if someone wants to compete with them for a player it is very difficult, they are dominant in the market," he told Sky Sports News.[LNB]"The player they say they want is the player they get.[LNB]"I was interested in Kolarov when I came here but I couldn't compete with them as they went to values that I couldn't.[LNB]"If they have the money they can do it, if they have the ambition to win the Premier League they can do it."[LNB]Mourinho believes this season's Premier League title race is between City, Manchester United and his old club Chelsea.[LNB]"I believe Chelsea, Man United and Man City, that's it," he added, before dismissing the chances of Liverpool.[LNB]"It's very difficult for (new Liverpool manager) Roy Hodgson as over the last three years they have been getting worse, worse and worse. He needs time."
