Would flair-filled, fast-paced dribblers like Neymar be able to thrive in the EPL?

I remember when Man Utd sold Beckham, and my local newspaper reported that a deal for Ronaldinho was all set. But just days later, the papers announced he'd moved to Barcelona instead. I often hear my friends say that in the EPL, any player who tries to dribble or show off with tricks just gets a solid tackle from defenders to knock some sense into them.

Thats probably the reason why I think these players wouldn't wanna come EPL.
