He still needs to develop a lot. Especially in the physical aspect, I reckon he'll be eaten alive by most defenders in the PL unless he bulks up fast...aside from that he's quick and has good technique.
To be honest, I thought he would've been an important player for us last season but he ended up falling way short of expectations. 3M could be a bargain in case he actually lives up to his potential but at the moment I guess it's an acceptable fee, especially if we consider his contract expires next season.
Patrício is really good (he's got nothing on Helton's footwork though
) but we don't need him atm. Nevertheless It won't surprise me if we snatch him up a couple of seasons from now 
Looking good
It's nothing official, but a really strong rumour. I'd say he's definitely set for us.

2013 -> "Only one Sporting player has the quality to play in Porto, Rui Patrício."

I hope not.
Because he wants Herrera to be the natural sub for Moutinho, and I reckon he will be.
Josué is likely to take the James spot, he actually played a similar role at Paços. He'll have to prove he's better than the opposition though, for instance Juan Quintero from Pescara is supposed to join us soon...

Herrera with a good DM is a joy to watch. He's a box to box midfielder that isn't afraid to get his hands dirty retrieving the ball and is pretty good on attack. He can run for days and has good vision.
Hoping he solidified his spot after tonight's performance, but Mexico's manager has a tendency to play favorites despite how shitty they play (Salcido, Reyna, De Nigris, Barrera are good examples), but now that the noose is tightening due to the team severely under performing, I'm hopeful that he'll be pushed to make the necessary changes.
Anyway, yeah, Herrera needs to GTFO the Mexican league.

Haha, no 
The other portuguese players weren't bad at all, I've just mentioned the starters!
César Peixoto, Nuno, Bruno, Tiago and Marco Ferreira...maybe apart from Bruno (ex-Marítimo) and Tiago (ex-Leiria) they were all good options at the time, and got decent playing time (ok, Nuno was Baía's sub so rarely got to play).
I remember Peixoto was in amazing form before getting gravely injured. Also, one can't forget about Marco Ferreira's influence in Derlei's goal against Celtic
