If either Real or Liverpool roll up at the Amex it'll be their third string players at best I would have thought. I think Man Utd and Chelsea had about three different teams playing at the same time last pre-season at various venues around the world.

a friendly in September? teams are usually pretty busy once the season start, except for international fixtures. in those breaks from domestic football, top teams would struggle to put out a youth/reserve team. i think we would have trouble. not sure many would be interested seeing Brighton Reverses V Spurs Acedemy IX.

Oh alright then, the team can come, it's just their arrogant, oafish, neanderthal fans I object to. (and before anyone says it - yes you can generalise about a particular set of fans if its THFC you're talking about)

Last September we had 5 League games, and there was also the 3rd round of the League Cup scheduled (which as per tradition of course, we took no part in).
I CANNOT see the club scheduling a friendly to take place in September, its a non-starter.

Won't Spurs have Champions League games around that time as well?

I agree. But that is what the man said
He must be wrong then.
Blimey, we went to Plymouth and Carlisle that month as well last year. I'm sure Gus would be delighted to shoe-horn in an extra midweek fixture if we're trekking up to Middlesbrough / Leeds / Barnsley / Hull or some other god-forsaken northern outpost just a month into the new season.

But Kuipers is nailed on to get Ajax for his testimonial.

Ah well. perhaps he was winding me up.
No.
And if it's a team as ordinary as Spurs, and that is what I have heard too, I'm not going.
Until recently Saints had some big names in for a summer friendly - Ajax last year, Espanyol etc. I think they've been stopped now because Pardew felt that a league 1 or championship side getting tonked by top class European opposition did nothing for pre season morale and told him nothing about state of readiness for the league sides they were about to face. Its not even that good for the fans to see your side lose 4-1. Maybe an 'exotic' but not outstanding side like Steau Bucharest or Dynamo Kiev would provide some glamour but also a better match?
