On the last day of his loan spell with Argyle, fans held up paper signs that read "Mr Chairman sign Akos now!" and "Buy Akos, Buy Akos!". This led to the board spending around £225,000 to make his move permanent, offering him a three-year contract.

He was a first team regular for Plymouth, and his form resulted in him being linked with West Bromwich Albion F.C. and Bolton Wanderers F.C.. After scoring 3 goals in the month, he was named one of the players of the month by the ITV programme "The Championship" for January 2007.

In October 2007 Buzsáky informed Plymouth he would not sign a new contract when his ran out in the summer.
