How do transfer rumours start?

Transfer rumours often begin when pundits, journalists, or even agents mention a potential move on TV, in newspapers, or online. Sometimes they're based on genuine interest, other times they're pure speculation. In this case, Peter Schmeichel's comment on live TV about Manchester United's interest in Lewis Hall quickly became a talking point.
