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:
“Men will not give up their privilege of helplessness without a struggle. The average man has a carefully cultivated ignorance about household matters—from what to do with the crumbs to the grocer’s telephone number—a sort of cheerful inefficiency which protects him better than the reputation for having a violent temper.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“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)
“A prince must be prudent enough to know how to escape the bad reputation of those vices that would lose the state for him, and must protect himself from those that will not lose it for him, if this is possible; but if he cannot, he need not concern himself unduly if he ignores these less serious vices.”
—Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527)
