"I wanted to get out and play first team football, whether that was at Arsenal or elsewhere, and I felt as if Villa provided me the right platform and the right plan to go ahead and do that, so that's why I made that conscious decision to leave. "When I was signing with Aston Villa there was always the idea of me going out on loan. Where to, it wasn't quite concrete. "When I signed for Villa, I signed papers for Argyle as well. Everything happened so quickly. I came down the same day and then I met the manager (Foster) the next day and was in for training. "It's a bit surreal to be honest, especially because everything has happened so quick. I have come down, I have trained, I'm in and around matchday squads, but I think that's football. You have to take each and every day as it comes because you never know what's around the corner. All I can do is just keep my head down, keep working and keep taking these experiences as they come."
