Forgive me for appearing to be ITK, and I expect to be flamed (that's not unusual!), very recent insight is that he does want to come, and we want him to come (as Bozza's insight recently suggested was the case a few weeks back). The problem is that Eddie Smug Perfect certainly does not want to let him go (and that is not exactly the same thing as saying he thinks he will need him in the run in). The club suspects this is just Eddie Smug Perfect being smug because he has absolutely no need to let him go (even if he doesn't want to use him in league games) and there is no conceivable benefit to them in letting him go at this point (even us paying part or all of his wages is a small p in a very large pot). So, unless Glenn does a Bridcutt (a terminology that should now be in the OED, a term meaning 'can't be 4rsed') then it is unlikely we will get him. In situations like this, the acquiring club has in the past been known to try and get a lever in there, and help the player concerned to expedite the breakdown.....
