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:
“A good reputation is more valuable than money.”
—Publilius Syrus (1st century B.C.)
“I am sorry to say we whites have a sad reputation among many of the Polynesians. The natives of these islands are naturally of a kindly and hospitable temper, but there has been implanted among them an almost instinctive hate of the white man. They esteem us, with rare exceptions, such as some of the missionaries, the most barbarous, treacherous, irreligious, and devilish creatures on the earth.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
““What have I earned for all that work,” I said,
“For all that I have done at my own charge?
The daily spite of this unmannerly town,
Where who has served the most is most defamed,
The reputation of his lifetime lost
Between the night and morning....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
