Think the idea is sailors can only spend infrequently, with them being mostly out at sea where there aren't any vendors, so they go hard when they're in port.
Basically the exact same as clubs during transfer windows.
Not to lose touch with the thread at hand but I believe the metaphor is "swore like a drunken sailor". In which case this is what I'd be doing if I was Harry Kane right about now.
Why not Chelsea? They spent like a drunken sailor last summer. (I don't understand the metaphor but I like the sound, so let's just roll with it.)
