Gilberto says Drogba talk too much..I say its Chelsea's big time diseasE!!!

Possible captain-to-be Gilberto Silva has hit out at Chelsea's Didier Drogba for ruling his side out of next season's title race.

Drogba recently dismissed Arsenal as a threat for the league title next season following the departure of star player and captain Thierry Henry.

Our Brazilian midfielder is clearly less than pleased.

"So Drogba said we're out of the title race? We'll see what happens," Gilberto told The Sun.

"They spent a fortune last season and couldn't beat Arsenal in the league."

He added: "They didn't defend the title either, so I think Drogba is talking a little bit too much."

Gilberto went on to say that although Arsenal will miss Henry, he is looking forward to playing with new signing Eduardo da Silva.

"We played against him in the Champions League. He appears to be a good player and a great striker but we'll have to see how he settles in and adapts to English football.

"We'll lose a heck of a lot without Henry. He was our main player, the captain, the top scorer.

"It's true that replacing him will be no simple task. But we can't go through the kind of spell we did when Patrick Vieira went to Italy."
