BBC - QPR capture Plymouth star Buzsaky
QPR have signed Hungarian playmaker Akos Buzsaky from Plymouth.
He has agreed a two-month loan deal ahead of a permanent move when the transfer window opens in January.
The skillful midfielder's Argyle contract was due to expire next summer and Buzsaky, 25, had indicated that he would not sign a new deal.
Buzsaky will wear QPR's coveted number 10 shirt, which has previously been worn by the likes of Rodney Marsh, Stan Bowles and Roy Wegerle.
"I am really looking forward to playing here," Buzsaky told QPR's website.
"The fans seem to be very appreciative. You know if you play well, they will really support you."
Rangers have money to spend in the transfer market because of a takeover by a group fronted by Formula One magnates Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone.
The Championship club are also hoping to complete the permanent signing of on-loan Birmingham striker Rowan Vine BBC
QPR Official Site EXCLUSIVE: BUZSAKY JOINS
Posted on: Tue 30 Oct 2007
Queens Park Rangers Football Club are delighted to announce the two month loan signing of Hungarian international Akos Buzsaky, who has been handed the coveted No.10 shirt.
A dead-ball specialist with fantastic individual ability, Buzsaky becomes new First Team Coach Luigi De Canio's first signing and is expected to go straight into the R's squad for Saturday's Championship showdown against Hull City at Loftus Road.
Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, the 25 year-old expressed his delight at the move, commenting: "I am really looking forward to playing here.
"It is a nice honour to be handed the No.10 shirt, but for me it is more important how you play rather than the shirt you wear.
"I haven't played a full match for three weeks, so I am excited at the prospect of playing against Hull City on Saturday."
R's fans know only too well the ability Buzsaky possesses. The Hungarian notched a contender for Championship goal of the season during the 1-1 draw between the two sides in October 2005.
It's an afternoon he recalls with some fondness.
"I remember the game really well," he added. "I opened the scoring with a nice goal, but Rangers equalised and the fans went crazy. As a visiting player, it was like hell!
"The QPR fans seem to be very appreciative. You know if you play well, they will really support you." QPR
QPR Official Site - IN PROFILE: AKOS BUZSAKY
A player with outstanding individual ability, Akos Buzsaky's talents were initially spotted by former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
The self-dubbed 'Special One' paid Buzsaky's first professional Club, MTK Budapest, £400,000 to entice him to FC Porto in 2001.
Buzsaky made just four appearances for the Portuguese giants though and was sent out on loan to Academia de Coimbra.
Plymouth swooped to bring Buzsaky to Home Park on loan towards the conclusion of the 2004/05 campaign, and after suitably impressing, the deal was made permanent in the summer of 2005.
Buzsaky produced a string of stunning displays for the Pilgrims in his first full season at Home Park, but with Argyle struggling to retain their Championship status towards the latter end of the campaign, boss Tony Pulis used him sparingly.
Undeterred, the arrival of Ian Holloway into the Argyle hot-seat breathed new life into the 'Magical Magyar,' who made 40-plus appearances for the Pilgrims last season.
Prior to his arrival in W12, dead-ball specialist Buzsaky featured in all but three of Argyle's 16 matches to date in campaign 2007/08. QPR

ÁKOS AWAY
Posted on: Tue 30 Oct 2007
ARGYLE midfielder Ákos Buzsáky is moving to the Pilgrims Championship rivals Queens Park Rangers.
The two clubs have agreed for the Hungarian international, whose contract with us had been due to expire at the end of the current season, to join Rangers on an emergency loan with a view to a permanent deal in the January transfer-window.
Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Ákos, 25, expressed his delight at the move, commenting: "I am really looking forward to playing here.
"It is a nice honour to be handed the No.10 shirt, but for me it is more important how you play, rather than the shirt you wear.
"I haven't played a full match for three weeks, so I am excited at the prospect of playing against Hull City on Saturday."
R's fans know only too well the ability Buzsaky possesses. The Hungarian notched a contender for Championship goal of the season during the 1-1 draw between the two sides in October 2005.
It is an afternoon he recalls with some fondness.
"I remember the game really well," he added. "I opened the scoring with a nice goal, but Rangers equalised and the fans went crazy. As a visiting player, it was like hell!
"The QPR fans seem to be very appreciative. You know if you play well, they will really support you."
Ákos, 25, joined Argyle, initially on loan, from FC Porto in January 2005 after impressing then manager Bobby Williamson during a behind-closed-doors friendly against Torquay United.
He went on to make 105 appearances for us, scoring eight goals, all from long-range, the most spectacular of which was a free-kick double during a 3-1 victory at Norwich last season.
He also became a full Hungarian international while at Home Park, winning the first of his seven caps two years ago against Malta in Budapest.
Former Hungarian Under-21 international captain Buzsáky had joined Porto under José Mourinho for £400,000 from home-town MTK Hungária FC in 2002.
He was loaned out to Portuguese Superliga side Academica de Coimbra in 2003-04, and had been playing for Porto's B side in the Portuguese Third Division prior to joining us.
Always popular with the Green Army - on the last day of his loan spell, fans held up signs urging the Board to buy him - contract talks with Ákos had reached stalemate in the days before QPR's move.
Without naming Ákos, manager Ian Holloway said: "I have given him what I think is a fantastic offer and I won't take kindly to it if it's turned down.
"There is a wrangle in amongst it concerning a third party who is supposed to be working for the player.
"I don't see what that person has done. It's a player we already had so why should I pay him anything?
"The rules state that I haven't got to, so I'm not going to. Why should I give him x amount of pounds, on top of what I have got to pay my player?
"We have made that player a fantastic offer. I'm proud of it, and so should he be.
"But you can only cut your cloth accordingly, and if people don't like it then go and play for someone else." Plymouth
