6’5 is not big for a KPP. Key defenders these days are 6’7, 6’8 and do have leap. Mark my words, he will struggle playing as a permanent key forward. He won’t have the size advantage that he has as a midfielder drifting forward, and he doesn’t have the speed to get separation.

Charlie is 6'4"… you're right about the height of defenders etc, but 6'5" is tall enough if you're good enough.

Crippa's height would be the least of his problems if we're dopey enough to play him as a permanent forward.

It’s not about height alone. Charlie is a freak athlete. He has a massive leap and is far more mobile than Cripps. He has the speed to get separation from his defender. The point about height is that he has a mismatch when he drifts forward because he has another midfielder on him, not a key defender.
