i really don't get Wagger's syntax

"Slams him in alongside Antoine Sibierski whose lone header all but provided Norwich's only moment of attacking note and the City chief will then have to decide which two from three he perms for that central midfield gig. "

what does this mean? Is he doing it alla italiano and omitting the subject pronoun (and any form or protatic marker)? or is it an imperative and he's just put the 's' there for the fun of it?
