They do have an absolutely incredible academy, so any opportunity for players would be great - although Portuguese players generally seem to be the least suited to Warnock's style.
Sadly your last sentence is bang on. Still, if the deal comes off and NW has gone at the end of the season then bring on the talented Portuguese players.
