Did he not come off in one of the games in England after 20mins?

never heard anything about the severity of it afterward so might have just been a precaution

If you guys are talking about Ilori then he's a centre back and got injured in the first preseason game, I'm guessing since we haven't seen him since then he hasn't recovered.

Wish they’d stop messing about with all these cheapies and loanees and sign a decent RB able to improve the starting lineup, and also a top quality versatile forward/striker. The need to improve our firepower was pretty obvious in the early hours of this morning, so WTF are they at?

The issue is that they don't want to extend Johnson's contract at his current salary and so he seems happy enough to see out his contract. Bringing in a RB that will slot straight into the first team would mean having two 'highly' paid right backs on the wage bill which of course would be bad business, which seems so important to FSG, Liverpool FC is after all a business.
By signing Manquilo, it'll allow Johnson to see out his contract and unless he agrees to a salary decrease, he'll leave the club, all the while we'll have a potential long term replacement hopefully developing nicely. I know that's how it'd work out in a perfect world but I do see the logic to the thinking behind this signing.

At this moment in time, a long term loan deal makes sense. The 'loan' is merely a way of deferring payment so that his fee falls into a different set of financial accounts meaning we don't fall foul of FFP. Sadly, this would suggest any transfer kitty has now been used up.
I'd never heard of Manquillo but I've done some digging and a lot of respected people (not Pele) think VERY highly of him indeed.

Surely the answer would be to have Kelly, Flanagan, Wisdom or McLaughlin as Johnsons number 2 then? not bringing in another foreign flop ahead of our own young talent.

Flop already hey?
He hasn't even signed yet.
Still, he can't be worse than that horrible little c*** Rafael who plays for your beloved Utd.
