there's a difference between a forward (jovetic) and and an attacking midfielder (silva).

Well, Silva plays as a forward for Spain and Jovetic tends to drop very deep to be involved in build-up play.
The key thing about Jovetic is that he is extremely versatile and can operate in numerous positions and systems. He has certainly tried to improve his striker instincts in the last few years but he was never a natural striker. In fact the first few times I saw him play it was more as a creative midfielder than a forward (but that was when he was still a teenager).
I see Jovetic as somewhere between Silva and Tevez. More a creator than Tevez but less a goalscorer, whilst less a creator than Silva but more a goalscorer.

Curious why you are so sure about this?

for spain silva actually plays as a false winger. ive even seen him playing as a false 9 vs scotland. regardless where he starts on the pitch, he usually ends up cutting inside.
as for jovetic, he's no different to tevez, he's a center or left forward. okay he can play as the main striker or an attacking midfielder , but his best position and where he ought to play is behind the main striker.
