Buzsaky Becomes QPR's Third Announced Signing of The Day

-
Guess if QPR keep signing, this blog will keep posting!

QPR Official Site - EXCLUSIVE: BUZSAKY SIGNS
Queens Park Rangers Football Club are delighted to announce the permanent signing of Hungarian international Akos Buzsaky.
The Plymouth Argyle midfielder - who joined the R's on loan in October - has put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half year contract, after the two Clubs agreed an undisclosed fee for his services.
Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Buzsaky - who is now tied to the Club until the summer of 2010 - revealed his delight at the move, commenting: "I'm very excited about the future.
"I have enjoyed the last two months and we're improving from game to game.
"The Rangers supporters are very passionate and they really want to see this Club going forward and being in the Premiership, where it should be.
"I am sure, like me, they are looking forward to a new era."
When asked about the QPR fans and their chant labelling him 'The White Pele,' Buzsaky said: "It's a little bit unrealistic, but when supporters sing about you, it shows that they are fond of you, which is great."
The Magical Magyar has been something of a revelation since his loan move from Home Park earlier this season, scoring six goals in just 13 appearances for the R's. QPR

PLYMOUTH OFFICIAL SITE - AKOS COMPLETES MOVE
ÁKOS Buzsáky's move to Queens Park Rangers for an undisclosed fee has been finalized.
The Hungarian international midfielder joined Argyle's Championship rivals at the end of October and he has made an instant impact in the capital, scoring six times in 13 appearances for the R's.
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.
It goes without saying that everybody at Home Park wishes Ákos all the very best for the future and thanks for the memories. Plymouth

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 putting pen to paper on his two month loan deal in W12 in October, dead-ball specialist Buzsaky featured in all but three of Argyle's 16 matches to date in campaign 2007/08.
And he wasted no time whatsoever in making himself feel at home in W12, scoring six goals in his first 13 appearances, before penning a two-and-a-half year deal in January 2008. QPR
