I did. Quite liked the look of new CB signing Jorge Cuenca and the link-up play of Abel Ruiz in attack.

Is that Nahuel Leiva?

He has quite good experience in Liga, so won't mind it.

Carles Pérez.

To be honest, Abel Ruiz is the only one who has real first team potential after Mboula left among the La Masia strikers we currently have in the B~Juv teams.
I don't see Pérez more than a mid-table la liga player even if he develops well.
Regarding Sergio Gómez who was named MVP of the tournament several times, I believe as he gets older, he is less likely to succeed as a world-class striker. He could end up like Lee (who failed to live up to expectations whatever the reason) if he doesn't switch to (attacking) central midfielder where I see he has a better chance.

Sergio Gomez is not even a striker in any sense, he never has and never will be. He is a currently a winger who like to come inside. His future is probably a CAM/CM/#10. He is a versatile attacking player and a damn fine one.

I guess I used the wrong term. I meant forward players which includes all different types whether it's striker, winger, #10 playmaker, #9 scorer, etc. Gómez mostly plays as a forward but even when he starts as a midfielder, he is still limited to more like a wide midfielder in 4-2-3-1 (whether it was intended by him or coaches) so he will still need to adapt to the role of CM in Barcelona 4-3-3 midfield which is different from typical attacking midfielder role.
I do agree that he is a versatile talent but he lacks some of the necessary qualifications to survive as a forward as he moves to the higher level which is similar to the case with current Lee (unless he changes his playing style similar to that of Pedro).
He lacks physical ability&balance, agility and explosive pace to be competitive in the top-level football. However, he possesses good vision, creativity and is technically gifted although not superior enough to overcome those flaws. So I hope Gabri try him in midfield in the coming season before it's too late.

I would take it further and say that above a certain age (say 14+), Barca should never sign a player from the outside and remove their own product (Including the first team)
I understand what you are trying to do.
There is a risk that in doing that you lose the product of the La Masia Chemistry when you do this. Key words being instinct, off the ball chemistry and movement, trust in teammates and so many more values that are about 'working as one'
