Reputation
Over the years Atalanta has earned the reputation of being a feeder team within the league, mostly for their highly acclaimed and much vaunted youth policy. Over the years the club has produced a number or players who went on to bigger clubs though they have also launched the careers of other players, either by loan or co-ownership, who came to the club and developed before they moved on. Names such as the now disgraced Cristiano Doni and the likes of Sergio Floccari, Maurizio Ganz, Filippo Inzaghi, Paolo Montero, Sergio Porrini, Alessio Tacchinardi and Christian Vieri all came to notice while playing for Atalanta with players such as Germán Denis and Gianluigi Lentini rebooting their careers on loan at the club.

Famous quotes containing the word reputation:
“How many people live on the reputation of the reputation they might have made!”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“Our culture, therefore, must not omit the arming of the man. Let him hear in season, that he is born into the state of war, and that the commonwealth and his own well-being require that he should not go dancing in the weeds of peace, but warned, self- collected, and neither defying nor dreading the thunder, let him take both reputation and life in his hand, and, with perfect urbanity, dare the gibbet and the mob by the absolute truth of his speech, and the rectitude of his behaviour.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I see my reputation is at stake,
My fame is shrewdly gored.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
