Football Manager has a special talent for inventing unlikely names. Every now and then a regen appears that makes us stop everything and call someone over to look at the screen. This is one of them.
The Barcelona B midfielder
His name is Pau Curto, he is 18, Spanish, and plays as an attacking midfielder for Barcelona B, wearing number 39. In Spain, Pau is a perfectly normal name. In Portugal… well, let us just say that, in Portuguese slang, the combination is very unlucky indeed.

Best regen name ever: Pau Curto
A warning to parents
A lesson for anyone choosing names: always think about how they sound in other languages. In the FM dressing room, at least, the nickname is guaranteed.
