Seaman said: “It’s important for the club to stabilise this sort of thing. It gets even worst next year.
“The sad part is we’ve lost a quality player in Alexis Sanchez, and we don’t need that to carry on.
“We want to get these guys signed up, get that all sorted out and then try and move on.
“We do need to move one because we’re getting a little bit left behind.”
