Vicente Guaita Panadero (Spanish pronunciation: [biˈθente ˈɣwajta panaˈðeɾo] ;[ i] born 10 January 1987) is a Spanish professionalfootballer who plays as agoalkeeper forCelta .
He appeared in 176La Liga matches over eight seasons withValencia andGetafe , as well as a season on loan withRecreativo in theSegunda División . In 2018, he signed withCrystal Palace , totalling 154 appearances in five years.[ 3]
Born inTorrent ,Valencian Community ,[ 4] Guaita graduated from theValencia youth system after arriving there from CD Monte-sión at the age of 13,[ 5] [ 4] being promoted to the first team for the2008–09 season following the retirement of longtime incumbentSantiago Cañizares . Additionally, as GermanTimo Hildebrand became ostracised by coachUnai Emery , he became the backup.[ 6] [ 7]
Guaita made his official debut with the main squad on 2 October 2008, in aUEFA Cup tie againstMarítimo (2–1 home win ).[ 8] However, after the signing of veteranCésar Sánchez fromTottenham Hotspur later in the year and the full recovery ofRenan , he remained third choice until the end of the campaign.[ 9] [ 10]
In2009–10 , with Sánchez having renewed his link a further year and the signing ofMallorca 'sMiguel Ángel Moyá , Guaita was deemed surplus to requirements and joined, on loan,Segunda División 'sRecreativo de Huelva .[ 11] As theAndalusians finished comfortably in mid-table he was awarded the competition'sRicardo Zamora Trophy , with just 24 goals conceded in 30 appearances.[ 12]
In November–December 2010, profiting from injuries to both César and Moyà, Guaita had a run of several matches for Valencia, notably a 2–1 home win againstAlmería inLa Liga [ 13] and a1–1 draw away toManchester United in theUEFA Champions League .[ 14] On 2 April 2011, as he had established himself in the starting XI, he suffered the loss of his father due to a heart attack (aged only 46),[ 15] prompting manager Emery to reinstate César between the posts for two games.[ 16]
In May 2011, Guaita extended his contract with Valencia until 2015.[ 17] He beganthe season as the starter, but picked up a serious hand injury in early November 2011, being nonetheless selected to several games by Emery as the reserve.[ 18] [ 19]
Guaita in 2016 On 31 July 2014, Guaita was sold toGetafe with a buy-back option.[ 20] He made his debut for his new team on 24 August, in a 3–1 away loss toCelta .[ 21]
In the2016–17 campaign , with the club again in the second tier, Guaita played little due to injury.[ 22] [ 23] He was, however, the starter inthe play-offs , which ended in promotion.[ 24] [ 25] [ 26] [ 27]
On 2 February 2018,Crystal Palace managerRoy Hodgson confirmed Guaita had agreed to join from 1 July on afree transfer .[ 28] The transfer was reconfirmed by the club on 8 June, with the player agreeing to a three-year contract.[ 29] He made hisPremier League debut on 15 December, keeping aclean sheet in a 1–0 home win againstLeicester City .[ 30]
Guaita eventually became the starter, relegatingWayne Hennessey tothe bench .[ 31] On 1 February 2021, he extended his link until 30 June 2023,[ 32] and in June was voted his team's player of the season.[ 33]
In January 2023, Guaita signed a new deal until June 2024.[ 34] However, during that summer, he reportedly refused to play for the side and demanded a transfer, having lost his starting place toSam Johnstone .[ 35] He later criticised the club onTwitter after not being included in the squad for Palace's first match of thenew season againstSheffield United .[ 36]
On 1 September 2023, aged 36, Guaita returned to his home country and signed a two-year contract with Celta.[ 37]
